i've only started listening to dubstep recently, and i'm totally in love with it.

I wanted to know if there are any fundamental tracks that i must check out? I'm looking for what may be considered as "the best" or even "classic" dubstep tracks

thanks!

Yea I would say that and pro nails and woo boost cuz they were the 3 first dub tracks I ever heard

listen to Ultrablack, then listen to 2562, then find where in the spectrum you are and dig dig dig.

Nero - Something Else
Borgore - Foes (16bit remix)
Emalkay - When I look at you
Reso - Beats in the basement
Fine Cut Bodies - Beaver blink (Ooah Remix)
Ultrablack - Bear Trap
Cadenza - Disrupt the whole scene
Coki - Burnin'

Look around man, you'll find em.

this. big mix, probably got dubstep out to more people then anything else, imo. still love it too.

took me far to long to appreciate that track. over the past 8-12 months ive greatly expanded the styles of dubstep i listen to. a year ago i wouldve called Pinch, Instra:mental, Kode9, Untold, and Pangaea boring. Back then it was all about the high octane agressive stuff, and althogh i still enjoy bash-your-head-in sets im glad ive found even more music to listen to.

seven - sirens

yes. this is ace. dont know if it could be called a classic but it is definitely a big tune. love it.

What, really?

don't bother with the caspa and rusko fabric mix for too long. it's mostly full of pish tunes saved by a couple of absolute gems (quest's forever is a fine example of an absolute peach).

you're better getting the first few dubstep allstars CD's. vol 02 is advisable.

for individual tunes try some of these:

Pangaea - Router (newest tune of the bunch. one of my favourites. one to watch out for!)
Digital Mystikz - Ancient Memories (loved the Skream remix too)
Mala - Lean Forward
Burial - Wounder (most of his material is a lot more chilled than anything else)
Vex'd - Smart Bomb
Kode9 - 9 Samurai
Skream - Midnight Request Line
Loefah - Rufage
Coki - Mood Dub (or Goblin if you want mad wobbles [or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni8ewxbmKJ0 )

check out a lot of mixes from a long time ago as well.

datsik & excision - swagga
Jakes & joker - 3k lane
DZ- down
Bar 9 - murda sound VIP
The widdler - Froggy style
