Tiesto v Oakenfold
Who was better in their prime?
I don't think anyone could ever touch Oakenfold due to his '99 Ess Mix days.
I think Oakey was best in his prime. But the nose dive he took really knocks anything he did down a few pegs. I mean Tiesto never really comprimised himself(not gonna say sold out, because the both did, fack! everyone does) like Oakey did.
Oakenfold.
He was in his true TRUE prime around 1994, 1999 was just when he was popular. Though even then his mixing and track selection was better than Ti�sto's.
Oakey has actually contributed to dance music a lot over the years. Look in many classic albums and you'll see his name in the Thank Yous. He also ignited the goa scene and then went on to become the world's highest paid Pro Tools operator.

That kind of contest is like the Special Olympics. But while we're on the subject, Oakey's '99EM tour is pretty damn good.
well guys, I saw them both live, Oakenfold I saw twice, once in Roseland Ballroom NYC, he was there with Sandra Collins and Max Graham. He was not that good and was overshadowed by Max, hands down. Max was so good I got my Britain Flag signed by him, and I am russian.. lol.. Gotta love the brits. But then I saw him this March in Cancun, let me tell you, that was the best set I heard ever in my life live, I could not stop jumping and going crazy, and I was not on drugs, just beer.. lol.. But Tiesto is the best in my eyes right now, with stuff he spins, Oakys albums are week and songs he picks suck, but I have not heard any of his new live sets accept what I heard in Mexico. Tiesto live is also great, I saw him once. I love his mixes from 2003 on, I had a chance to download some of his sets and I love them.. I am having problems downloading these days, I know of only WinMX to download, PM me with other sites where I can get sets to download, please. Also when Digweed used to come to our best and legendary club Twilo in nYC, that was something else, I never saw people go that crazy, I happened to hear him last time before they shut down down the club when he promoted GU: LA.. it was crazy.. thanks guys.. I have been a fan of this music for years, just joined this site, I love it!!!
Oakey, because he worked with dance music more than he did his crowds
(and this is coming from the Ti�sto groupie) 
aint it ironic that neither of them can mix ? 
i prefer oakey btw
oakey, and anyone that says tiesto is a douche
flame me now
oakey hands down.. i think this was in the new BPM magazine as well they were comparing the 2. They were comparing which dj'have performed for major events and so far tiesto tied oakenfold when he played at Disney World. Anyways I think Oakenfold has done more with Trance shit he pretty much led trance to what it is now. Another thing is Oakenfold gave Tiesto his first big gig as well. Oakenfold Ruled trance and still kinda does... ya he has sucked latley with a couple of his cd releases, his concerts might not be as intense as before and his mixing might be getting a little off but shit the man has been in the game since the start..
FINALLY...people saying good things abour paul. His sets back in the day were just...brilliant. I even think his sets nowadays are great. Oakenfold...my fav dj and always will be.

ohh, I am having problems finding Tiesto - Live @ Dance Valley 2001?! anyone can steer me in a right direction where I can get it?
oakey for sure!
wtf, and these are the threads that go on for 541389413651 pages....
Oakenfold...
oakenfold's GU ny got me into edm...
Oaky in 1999 fair enuf he was the daddy. The Lotherton Halls EM prob goes down as the greatest set ever or its very close trance wise.
But me personally i prefer Tiesto circa 2000-2002. Just prefer the tunes he played then than Oaky. I was never one for the "1999 anthems" and am still not.

Oakey, for sure. Hands down.
Dont get me wrong, i like tiesto, and i love some of his mixes, but going back to my younger days, thinking how i felt then, tiesto doesnt even come close to oakey. The shear anticipation people would get before he came on was awesome, you could feel it building, people would be looking at each other going oakeys on soon, and when he did, ouch. I've never felt so off this planet in all my life. The energy he gives is just something else.
I went to the closing party of the courtyard @ cream a few years back, was on a sunday night, hernan was on before hand. I've never ever seen a place erupt like it did that night, oakey was with it, he was into the crowd and damn, everyone was into him.
He was the first dj i ever saw, and in my eye no one will ever put me where he has.
Oakenjoke for sure
