Top 30 Happy Hardcore Songs

Fair enough. I wasn't at the Docks in Toronto from '97 to '99 and I wasn't a part of the UK Hardcore scene. Clearly (if you've seen my profile), I'm too young to have had that experience. However, I understand the happy hardcore genre well enough to know good cheese from bad cheese. Happy Hardcore is about having a good time and you should be able to party regardless, but high quality music really enhances the experience. Making the list was hard, as its hard to distinguish among classics. Feel free to comment, disagree, ask questions, etc. Make your own list, even.
