Anyway, the song I love right now is The Boogie Man Song, by Mos Def.

In all genres the beat struture has alot to do with it, but I'll try and simplify it.
Trance: which is pretty much my fav genre, is what the name says it is. It's more psychedelic, more slowly building until it reaches a climax, goes insane.
My fav's are Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren. Check out Traffic by Tiesto for a good example. Then there's different varieties of trance such as Psy Trance like Infected Mushroom
Progressive House: is more electronic, less harder than Techno. Sounds similar to Trance, but the difference can be heard. Like others, there's different types like Acid House, Hard House and so on.
Ferry Corsten is my favourite Prog artist, check Out Ferry Corsten "Punk"
Techno: I'm not really into that much. It's roots are in detroit with such artists as Derrick May, but Techno has really faded as of late. Techno is pretty much all electroinc with percussive beats.
Drum and Bass/Jungle: Uses Techno beats, sometimes mixes in hip hop samples, can be aggressive or laid back. Adam Freeland is an example. I'm not at all into Drum and Bass
I hope that explains it.
