It would only be proper if the best trance songs were hand-picked by the one who created A State of Trance, Armin van Buuren. Billboard Dance asked the legendary DJ, producer and labelhead to list his top 30 trance music tracks of all-time.

Van Buuren features classic trance music from Above & Beyond, Cosmic Gate, his side project Gaia and many more, but mentions there are many tracks missing from this list as there's so many great trance songs out there.
