Energy Rush was a compilation series set up in 1992 by Dino Entertainment focussing on dance floor anthems. The first part landed in 1992 and featured several commercially succesful dance anthems but also loads of underground stuff. I really like this compilation series and, therefore, have the idea to rank the tunes featured on the first part according to your likes (similar to what @Jade set up for the Pop Princess series) . Please give 1 to 10 points for each of the tunes. You can give one tune 12 points and also give one tune a -2 if you hate it. Given that loads of competitions are ongoing right now please post your votes until 21st of March.

Since not everything is available on Spotify I have created a Youtube playlist:

My brother owned this. 1992 was such a great year for huge dance hits. It does seem a little low on smash hits, though. - there were a dozen more top 10 hits that summer that could have been put on this. I suppose Dino wasn't the most influence label out there so it had to work with whatever was available.

I didn't like any of these enough to give a score of 12 points and none of them were bad enough to get -2. I've never heard that version of 'I Feel Love' before and I liked it.
