if there is more that one favorite techno song of yours please post it... im not originaly a techno fan but im beginning to get a taste for it
 
there's a ton of good techno...like every other genre of music, you have to wade through 90% crap to get the really good innovative stuff...

I'm a fan of particularly hard ass banging techno...

my current fave new techno track is:
ANDY FARLEY, COLIN BARRATT & D.A.V.E. THE DRUMMER - Uluru b/w Soundblaster

http://www.planetxusa.com/pub/audio/djram/2004/170519.ram

not out yet, but I'm watching it like a hawk...

PS: I hope it's ok to post record store sample links...I'm not trying to plug here...it's just the only place I've ever heard the track...
 
The term of the genre you guys are looking for is "EDM"...as in Electronic Dance Music. Techno is a sub-genre of it, as is Trance, D&B, Goa, etc. :P

I'm mainly a trance fan, and while my playlist does include some "cheese", the majority of it is by artists like Gabriel & Dresden, Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Oakenfold, PvD, Above & Beyond among many others.

I know this thread is old as hell, but I don't give a shit.

The best Techno song is Clear by Cybotron. Its the song that defined the genre. Yes it has lyrics in it, so it is a song.

And there is good Techno. Actually there is very little bad Techno, because being Techno means it's good. If you ever hear bad Techno, it's not Techno. It's something else.
 
Like it has already been noted, don't confuse techno as the name for all Electronic Dance Music. EDM breaks off into sub-genres such as techno, trance, house, breakbeat, dnb, acid, big beat, and etc.

But to answer what you asked, coz you asked for "Techno"...my favorite techno track is: Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses at night (Chris Liebing Mix)

You probably won't like this if you do try to get it since you're probably into Lasgo and Sammy, and they are not even close to techno.
 
Lol, Ray Munn or Munns is terrible. That's the guy who used to VJ on MTV's TRL. Haha. He released few compilation albums and his track selection is so weak a senile 80 yr old woman would come up with a better one. Not even talkin' about his beat-matching and mixing. He's terrible at both. Haha.
