* Iamamiwhoami. Just iamamiwhoami.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16RCvtziXj0 "Chicken on The Rocks"]] by Jean Jacques-Perrey & Dana Countryman. That combined with [[SouthPark Randy Marsh and all of the South Park men bouncing on their testicular cancer-enduced ballsacks]] result in [[CrowningMomentOfFunny certain hilarity]]. Trust me, [[BetterThanItSounds it's better than it sounds]].

* No love for Dance music? [[http://youtube.com/watch?v=nkA9IYsRpKA]] Time to Bring it on!
* Drum and Bass has been particularly epic in the last few years, noticeably tracks like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHFl3Cz4igw Muffler - Can You Feel]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FACB8jh_T24 Spor ft. Tasha Baxter - Overdue]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AaKK7O-A0g Seba - Snow]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0prFicLgXxw B-Complex - Beautiful Lies]] and of course epic masterpieces like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwyrxrYYvfU Fanu - Siren Song]] and the utterly jaw-dropping [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZWzh2GKy5A Unknown Error - Yearning (Apex VIP)]]

* Fatboy Slim. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R795KiMD4zs Right Here, Right Now!]].

* Hiroshi Watanabe, under the alias "cranky," puts outs some amazing rave music. Take for example, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPrVylJqo4s J219 "Ura-Rokkou mix"]], a remix of one of his own songs, or [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFHFootrDUE R176]].
* "Fourth Rendez-Vous" by JeanMichelJarre was an ethereal techno-dance song. Then the 1998 FIFA World Cup came to France, and now you have "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=juHZcLzX9Fc Rendez-Vous '98]]", a song that captures ''all the thrill and bombast of a FIFA World Cup finale''.

** Of course, the album "Rendez-vous" has even more to offer. There's also "Second Rendez-vous", especially live versions, and ''full length'' (as in nearly 12 minutes) live versions in particular: CrowningMusicOfAwesome [[XMeetsY meets]] EpicRocking. But "Fourth Rendez-vous" has been an ''encore'' for some of Jarre's biggest shows for a reason, yes.
* Anything on VenetianSnare's epic album ''Rossz csillag alatt született''. Here's the most well-known track: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rjyVF6a4xo Szmar Madar]].
* BoardsOfCanada. Music Has The Right To Children is just about perfect. As for tracks, the sublime and just about a CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming of its on, my money's on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UYQqeLvHns Olson]]. I get misty eyed even thinking about it. Other than that, all their music could qualify.
* DaftPunk. Try [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPniroKwZ3g this video]], of the opening to their live set. Performing in robot costumes? Cool! Performing in a glowing pyramid? Awesome! Mixing together your very diverse albums of music in such a fantastic manner? Sweet! Doing so in a way that that builds the crowd up to a frenzy so big that it's hard to find a live video on YouTube of the opening that doesn't cut off only a few moments in? Insane!
** Can't forget my favourite touch, starting the whole show off with CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind chimes!
** That's it? [[[YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle I don't think so!]] Try [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH-0s0pRleg One More Time]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBbasXXtrXw Robot Rock]], the underrated [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxzBvqY5PP0 Digital Love]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e94y4EjWGs Human After All]], and ''any'' of their DjHero mixes, mostly the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbZMzK_ZNPc Queen]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdtg1TYXvTk&feature=related ones.]] It's like [[BoringInvincibleHero they haven't put a foot wrong,]] [[AvertedTrope and that's cool with me.]]

** Derezzed. The main theme of their score of ''Film/TronLegacy''.
* Orbital, the full 15minute version of Are We Here?. Also Lush 3/Impact/Remind trilogy ESPECIALLY live. My God. Also Belfast is good, but live it's unbelievable.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y0JD4dqEIo Rock into the future]] by 1200 Micrograms.
** They're entire first record is pure [=CMoA=]. Every song maintains the psytrance but also does a good job reflecting the drugs in use. LSD is particularly epic and Mescaline uses samples from FearAndLoathingInLasVegas ! Sweet!
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9csgJkEG86s&feature=related Acid for Nothing]] is equally amazing. Who'd guess that Dire Straits' "Money for Nothing" would sound so awesome with a bass drum!
* I present an example of CrowningMusicOfAwesome with a Crowning Music Video Of Awesome to go with it: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etWi1bOotd0 DVNO]] by Justice, featuring very professional parodies of {{Vanity Plate}}s and other logos.
** Seconded. Even more insanely awesome by them? Their live mixing of Waters of Nazareth into Phantom Pt 2!
** Movie logos and {{vanity plates}} not your thing? How about moving [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sy1dYFGkPUE 80's pop shirts?]] Also sounds like the Jackson 5 got with them!
* Darude. "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZXPP7qMSz4 Sandstorm]]". That is all.

* AphexTwin has been declared to be the pioneer of modern electronic music. Selected Ambient Works 85-92, Richard D. James Album, ...I Care Because You Do, drukqs, Come to Daddy, On EP, Analord, etc. should be apart of everyone's music library regardless if you're a fan of the genre or not.
** I use the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWDAtMPoBHA Come To Daddy video]] as my argument to metal fanciers that electronic music can be awesome and incredibly heavy. The imagery is more metal than most metal could ever hope to be, and the beat-sliced madness and horrific distortion is perfect for making my case!
* Regarding pioneers, Autechre has been arguably defining the very concept of electronic music since their debut LP ''Incunabula''. They have changed styles several times and in the most unpredictable ways, ranging from the bizarre abstraction of ''Confield'' to the heavenly glory of ''Oversteps''. CrowningMusicOfAwesome? Try [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFm87ncj-Xc Treale]].

** No love for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU_dmrwom6c&feature=related Lift Me Up]]?

* Marilyn Manson: Sweet Dreams, The Beautiful People, or anything off of Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, or Holywood!
* [[http://freemusicarchive.org/music/glomag/Live_At_The_Blip_Festival_2009/07_Fan_Service Fan Service by Glomag of course]], one of the nicest examples of chiptunes.
* Prodigy's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_PAHbqq-o4 Breathe]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmin5WkOuPw Firestarter]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svJvT6ruolA No Good (Start the Dance)]], to name a few epic songs by them.

* No mention of DJ Tiesto's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdDOEIk5Mx0 Elements of Life]]? Or anything else by the man, for that matter.
** The whole Parade of the Athletes album, performed live on the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympics for extra awesome. In particular, his mixes of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiQXHT9255M Albinoni's]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJujSL-0tOw Barber's]] Adagios, ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGJkB1ut0qY Heroes]]'', and ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wbS0AjOMYY Forever Today]]''.
** If [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEvE_04x-xI Silence]] isn't a CMOA, then I don't know what is.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16RCvtziXj0 Chicken on The Rocks]] by Jean Jacques-Perrey & Dana Countryman. That combined with [[SouthPark Randy Marsh and all of the South Park men bouncing on their testicular cancer-enduced ballsacks]] result in [[CrowningMomentOfFunny certain hilarity]]. Trust me, [[BetterThanItSounds it's better than it sounds]].
* Australian Drum 'n Bass band Pendulum: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04QpInkz9so Propane Nightmares]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2sWWj9RjeQ Hold Your Colour]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b0J8cw8ZWE Blood Sugar]], and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkEs9IJdGwQ Witchcraft]] (sorry for the horrible live version).
** Better yet, all their albums, starting with Hold Your Colour, then In Silico, finally Immersion.
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXhyHncZYf0 Non-horrible studio version of Witchcraft here]]! Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnTnmPIwNMQ Crush]], their yet-to-be officially released remix of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qn59x43YIs Calvin Harris' I'm Not Alone]] (live version linked to), and their cover of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXqrY7k6LTM Coldplay's Violet Hill]].
** Four letters: SLAM.
* Black Moth Super Rainbow has unleashed numerous instances of this: I give you [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmvOA_-cJnw Drippy Eye]].

* Fuck Buttons. To quote myself from a youtube comment: "I'm probably being hyperbolic in the eyes of many, but Tarot Sport is, musically, the best album I've heard in the past decade. Fuck Buttons have the ability to make music that is amazingly catchy, while being polyphonic AND quite often polyrhythmic. And they do it on fucked up kids toys."
* I can't be the only one here that likes Ferry Corsten. Exhibit A: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04Uuarao5hM Fire]].
** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q739ZlkOgfQ LEF]], that and the album art, that is the most kick ass album art ive ever seen.

* The Knife, full stop. Heartbeats, Marble House, and Pass This On are examples of how awesome the Dreijer siblings are.
** And Karin is CrazyAwesome in her own merit, I can listen to the Fever Ray album nonstop and find new quirks in the songs.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6iIKeAbRP8 Score (Original mix) by Slyder.]] Especially the buildup at 3:42. Definitely a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Even more awesome when driving to it in ''GrandTheftAuto 3''.
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9xxENiPxxWo Biocandy]] by [=Chi-A.D.=]. Merely listening to it will get you high without drugs.
* How did we get this far without mentioning {{UNKLE}}? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5PYv8Ppsjg Burn My Shadow]] is just... epic.

* Renard Queenston
** Oh what talent! One must not forget the numerous handles he uses. My favourite track of his is [[http://vulpvibe.bandcamp.com/track/the-castle-vs-kitsune The Castle]].

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zDr_k5SLpoA&feature=related Every]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaIZ0mUJzr0 remix]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bg1PIMWtI7I&feature=related by]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMdXOqq3WL4&feature=related Skrillex.]] '''''ESPECIALLY''''' Cinema (the second link).

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sEPoqGQRQ0 Sabres of Paradise]]
* Hadouken!'s [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DfjuVCyzToY Mecha Love]] combines fast synth beats with great lyrics.

* Nero - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S35THmZD_E Innocence]] That is all

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hi26f-NQe0 To the Unknown Man]]

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rL1oU6fH25w Albedo 0.39]]
** And of course, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYJzcUvS_NU Chariots of Fire]]

* [[DeadMau5 deadmau5]] is called The King of [[LeetLingo Hau5]] with good reason. Just listen to [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKi9Z-f6qX4&ob=av3e "Strobe"]], with it's drop that can [[ManlyTears make a grown man cry]]. Or, if you're more a fan of hard, unconcentrated awesomeness, try [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNXuQJo94pc&ob=av3e "Animal Rights"]].
* So much of Above and Beyond. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V16WAj8A2pg "On My Way to Heaven"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7LNeMUaJEac "On a Good Day"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgRnLM9Vi24&ob=av3e "Thing Called Love"]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll5ykbAumD4 "Sun & Moon"]], I could go on...

* Italo Disco songs like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo_5TIRe0-0 these]] or a random song [[http://www.italo.nu/ in this online radio station]]. Catchy melodies and everything else that makes true 80s music.

* You all speak of awesome electronic music and ''not'' mention BT? For shame!

* Everything that [[http://www.youtube.com/user/TheLivingTombstone The Living Tombstone]] has done.

* Drum and Bass has been particularly epic in the last few years, noticeably tracks like [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KHFl3Cz4igw Muffler - Can You Feel]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FACB8jh_T24 Spor ft.

* Kevin Johnson's [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9OSKHfg7VM eurobeat cover of "Never Gonna Give You Up"]] takes a song that's become [[MemeticMutation meme status]] and makes it listenable.

* You all speak of awesome electronic music and ''not'' mention BT? For shame!

** And from his earlier works, "Next is the E". and "Electricity". And "Go". And "[[MeaningfulName Thousand]]". As in, [[BeyondTheImpossible 1000 BPM.]]

** ThisTroper agrees and could list a lot of more songs but settles with [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cumHbQfmYmc Ethnicolor]] which just might be his artistic peak and '''crowningest''' music of awesome. Especially after 6:20 or so. (The studio version is better, though)

** ''Alive 2007''. The entire thing. It won a Grammy for a reason. You may have heard all of the songs before, but have you heard them mashed up with each other? The crowner for this troper would have to be "Prime Time of your Life/The Brainwasher/Rollin' and Scratchin'/Alive".

* No mention of Marilyn Manson? That makes this troper quite sad when you think of Sweet Dreams, The Beautiful People, or anything off of Antichrist Superstar, Mechanical Animals, or Holywood!

* This troper is offended that there is virtually no mention of Australian Drum 'n Bass band Pendulum here. What about [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04QpInkz9so Propane Nightmares]]? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2sWWj9RjeQ Hold Your Colour]]? [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b0J8cw8ZWE Blood Sugar]]? And, more recently, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkEs9IJdGwQ Witchcraft]]? (Sorry for the horrible live version)

* Dan Deacon. If you've never heard his music before, I believe [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1dOovoMlRs this]] would be the best introductory song.

** [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXhyHncZYf0 Non-horrible studio version of Witchcraft here]]! Also, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnTnmPIwNMQ Crush]], their yet-to-be officially released remix of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qn59x43YIs Calvin Harris' I'm Not Alone]] (live version linked to), and their cover of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bXqrY7k6LTM Linkin Park's The Catalyst]].

** Derezzed. The main theme of their score of TronLegacy.

** The main theme of their score of Tron:Legacy.

* By the [[http://soundcloud.com/simonowen-1/future-perfect-escape-album?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=facebook&utm_content=http%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fsimonowen-1%2Ffuture-perfect-escape-album SoundCloud preview]], it appears that Future Perfect's second album, ''Escape'' is going to be awesome.

* Joujouka, especially [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiHIyqgAteI "Rock is Sponge"]], featured in ''{{Rez}}'''s fourth stage.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6iIKeAbRP8 Score (Original mix) by Slyder.]] Especially the buildup at 3:42. Definitely a CrowningMomentOfAwesome. Even more awesome when driving to it in ''GrandTheftAuto3''.

* Nero - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1S35THmZD_E Innocence]] That is all

** That's it? [[NotSoFastBucko I don't think so!]] Try [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lH-0s0pRleg One More Time]], [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBbasXXtrXw Robot Rock]], the underrated [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxzBvqY5PP0 Digital Love]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4e94y4EjWGs Human After All]], and ''any'' of their DjHero mixes, mostly the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbZMzK_ZNPc Queen]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cdtg1TYXvTk&feature=related ones.]] It's like [[BoringInvincibleHero they haven't put a foot wrong,]] [[AvertedTrope and that's cool with me.]]

* A couple of years before FatboySlim, Norman Cook headed a trio with two producers to form a group called Pizzaman. They were awesome. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OGnBKIwtk64 Here's one of their hits.]]
