Hip Hop = SOBE:rolleyes:

[CHRles]

This list is riciulous.

Okay, it starts off with some good choices in Ibiza, but neither Gatecrasher nor God's Kitchen are based out of London. Sure, they hold some events there, but there's no club in London by those names.

Out of all the clubs in New York Centro Fly is the best? That's almost as bad as having Exit in the top 10...I mean fine, put it in the top 100, but in the top 10?

Out of all the clubs in Amsterdam Zone is ranked the highest? and where in Amsterdam is the Mazzo?

Cream in Montreal? Really? Montreal's got some good clubs, why not mention some of them higher in the list instead of this one?

Liquid in Miami? The legendary old one is long closed, and the newer one wasn't a big success and is now Menage.

Guvernment in Toronto is a good choice.

The Lost in Lausanne?Out of all the clubs in Switzerland this one is the best? What about Oxa in Zurich, or ones in Bern and Geneva?

Is MOS still open in London?

Is Motor still open in Detroit?

Level in Miami in the top 20? Okay, it's a great looking club with multiple rooms, but not as good as it once was. Even back then it was never Miami's best. That club can at least try to sound like Cafe Iguana on Saturdays instead of trying mainstream Hip Hop in the main room. That way the mainstream and casual Dance fans will start coming back to SoBe, and hopefuilly the more underground leaning clubs on the beach will get a bigger crowd pull too. Wasn't that how it was during SoBe's mid to late 90s peak?

Nation in DC? Even though Buzz is closed and Code just opened?

Roxy in NY is ranked below Exit?

Groovejet NY and Chemistry Amsterdam are good choices.

Blue is a nice Dance/bar, or lounge, that is a staple of SoBe with good House music, but still should not be ranked way ahead of Space. Oh well, it definitely is better than Club Deep....

Club Deep, to be fair, doesn't have a bad staff, dancing on the water is fun, and the club has been around for a lot longer than many other clubs. Maybe if they had a couple of good House nights, and a good crowd I'd somewhat understand the clubs placing on the list.

Berlin Chicago is a good choice I suppose, with DJs like Ralphie Rosario and Greg Haus, though there's a number of other good clubs in Chi-town.

Shampoo is Philly's best? Maybe 4 years ago.

Avalon in Boston should be ranked much higher, and so should Stereo in Montreal.

Out of all the clubs in Germany Time Warp is ranked the highest? What about some of the clubs in Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich,Cologne or Hamburg?

As for Tresor in Berlin, that club was big like what 5-10 years ago, but is it still as good today?

Where is club wide in London? Or Club Drink in New York?

Is Platinum in DC all that good? Is it good at all?

Some of the clubs ranked below number 60 should be way higher on the list. 1015 in SF is prolly the best club in America, the Key Club in L.A. is good, you all know about Miami's Space, RA in Vegas hosts some good parties, and Sona in Montreal is another good venue.

Is Limelight in SF still open?

Is Red No. Five in Chicago a success at all? Is it still open? Aren't there a lot of other Chicago clubs you can list before this one (although it's not a bad club)?

There's a million good clubs in the UK outside of London, but it seems like only The Fridge in Brixton gets mentioned. Why??

I'm especially surprised to see a club based out of Hartfort on the list. Appearantly Vibe is better than clubs like Velvet in St. Louis, or some of the Atlanta clubs...

Pure in Denver should be ranked higher, and is there really a Sound Factory in Boston?

Did anyone actually participate in this club survey?

Forget that - did anyone actually go and visit some of these clubs? What were the criterias for choosing these clubs?

[copahc]

Maybe this list is really old or something...

[pod]

Umm yeah the list is very old. Liquid 1.0 closed in 2000, and 2.0 isn't worth mentioning.

So disregard this list...

heh....u got that right.

Level and liquid or club menage or whatever the hell it's gonna be called next week has no place being on that list.

[Sapexec]

Someone email the gimp who originally posted this list, and tell them not to post lists/data from 1998. Uncool. Im surprised Studio 54 wasnt mentioned or the palladium.
