  1. Really only of the first half of the 90s. When Chevron start pumping out hits in the later part of the 90s they got totaly swamped. also at least 3 of the songs is actually not from germany

  2. ​ @TrustInTheShepherd  I would probobly say that Scooter is Hardcore or techno rather than Eurodance. Simuarly for Dune they lean more to Rave and techno, not really eurodance. And prodigy i would say is mostly electro-punk. Of cause the diffrance between Eurodance and Techno/rave is not huge. But both techno and rave predates what is known as Eurodance today by quite a while. While both a keyboard/synth and drummachine driven melody is the base for all 3. Eurodance typically have a clasical structure (intro-verse-chorus(2)-verse(2)-outro) with a strong lead vocal and typically a backup vocal (typically a raper but not always) also typically rave have higher beat (~170) while techno/eurodance stays ~140. This is kind of important considering that Techno existed and was fairly popular in the 80s and hence, if Techno and eurodance would be interchanged, that would kind of destroy the idea that Eurodance spanwed in the 90s. In a sense Eurodance is really simular to Disco in the matter that it have a synth/keyboard base lead vocal and backup vocal and a clasical song structure. Of cause, also need to set it apart from (American)-dance that predated Eurodance. can of cause be argued that Ride on Time and Pump up the Jam is eurodance as well, coming in 1989. Blackbox and Technotronics are from Italy and Belgium. A lot of people use Techno and Eurodance intechangeble, and its kind of understandable when they geners are quite simular. To me i would say that Eurodance is sort of a mainstreamification of Techno, but with both a touch of RnB and Disco. Specially since Eurodance is often refered to as "pop" that really never was the case for Techno and/or rave.
