Almost 20 years ago, a genre of music started to emerge, one that eventually defined the sound of a unique spin on house and electro. UK Garage, or ‘UKG’ as it was often called by its religious following (particularly in London), characterised the youth generation, and was as important and synonymous to British soul, hip-hop and R&B today as 60’s rock and roll was for indie.

For those followers of UK Garage, even today, spinning a UKG track is often met by warm memories; here, we are looking to YOU, our beloved readers, to help us drill down some of the biggest UK Garage songs in a bid find the Top 50 Greatest UK Garage Tracks of All Time.

Hit the poll below to cast your votes; now’s the time to be picky as you can select up to ten tracks, and remember to subscribe to Stagedoor FM, follow us on Twitter
or like us on Facebook so you can be amongst the first to see the results once announced.

Enjoy!

  1. This has to be a joke right? 20 pioneering years of UK Garage and you’ve narrowed it down to a selection involving Sambucca and So Solid ‘Ride wid us’ (what??)

    • Hi there, thanks for the message. We’re looking at the ‘core’ era of 97-02 – the list was user-generated in many parts so we have just replicated what many of our readers have expressed as their ‘core’ tracks. However absolutely if you have any more you feel have been omitted from the list, by all means please let us know.

      • As someone who’s listened to / DJed garage since 1998-1999 and still does, this list is far from ‘core tracks’ and more of a surface skim. Sadly it’s polls like this that are real garage’s biggest enemy, there’s a hell of a lot more to the music than the tracklisting for Pure Garage II.

        • Hi there, I totally appreciate your stance on this. The list is user-generated and we’re looking to find the Top 50. We’re absolutely happy to add further tracks in to the poll as it’s going to be available for another couple of weeks yet so please feel free to let us know which tracks should be included and we can add these in (much like we’ve done to compile the original list anyhow).
