As a small indication to give you an idea where im coming from, heres 5 tracks which have stood the test of time for me, not necccerily my top 5 of all time, but just great tracks i have never got bored off and will always have time for.
1. TJR Ft Xavier - Just Gets Better
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gllucWlSP50
The track which inspired my blog title. One of the most adptley titled tracks. It literally does get better which each listen. The chords which kick in latter in the track, Xaviers sublime vocals, phat drums, deep bass. The perfect club track. Theres some great Todd Edwards remixes too which always helps. But its the TJR dub mix which is the killer.
2. Pharrell Ft Jay Z - Frontin'

I fell in love with this track the first time i heard it in a club. Dj had been playing that useless watered down middle of the row house stuff they play in luminar clubs all night. Then out of knowhere just dropped this. It was about the time it was doing the rounds on promo so id heard it a few times. It just sounded so phat. Simple ideas are usually the most effective and its one of the simplist tunes i can think of. Countless people have remixed it and resung it, the sign of a great song. Pharrell's Falsetto voice works perfectly on this tune and Jay-Z smacks the middle 8. Everything about this track is perfect.
3. Michael Jackson - I Can't Help It
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=klja3RBVXis
I had to include Jackson in this list somewhere!! This is perhaps my favourite of his, its relatively unplayed/unheard of (well in Jackson terms anyway), just an album track from off the wall. Pure classic Jackson funk at its best. And the Shy Fx remake - Plastic Soul is more than half handy too!!
4. Puddle Of Mudd - Blurry
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PGmrL2h8lrE
A track which is just deep. Means alot to me and the chord changes just get sweeter on each listen. A classic and very well written pop track, which hits all the right notes!
5. Bob Sinclar - I Feel For You
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Gn7SB5g2FVE
One of my favourite house records of all time. The Cerrone samples are just awesome & the vocal is awesome. A friend told me once, that he was in Ibiza when this track was promo'd and he was stood outside club watching planes lane and the sunset when this was playing. Always sticks with me that image. This track is good for the soul!! Reminds me of good days when i was still in my early clubbing years and was generally a great period in my life.
