I was surprised Guetta was not #1 last year, but I think he actually deserves to be #1. He has done a lot to bring EDM to the States.

What I'm more upset is how James Zabiela is all the way down to #94.

Oh well, it's def a new world in EDM. I should have gotten the hint when I told a guy at the airport who was going to Ultra to go checkout the Carl Cox tent, and he was 'Who is Carl Cox? I really want to see DeadMau5"

just a side note to all the polls: they only matter in the States. from what i've seen in the last few months in Europe, everyone here is still getting booked based on quality, not quantity. hopefully we'll see that happening again at home. i think we're lucky in NYC with our locals who throw great parties regardless of who the top 10 is.

it will be interesting to see if djmag ever comes up with an "industry insider" poll.

Pfft, well, fuck you too! Some of us brown ppl still recognise what's good. Even the ones with a vagina.

I stopped looking at this poll results a while ago. They have no credibility whatsoever. In any case, they should rename their "top 100 best" to "top 100 most popular", clearly not the same. Still look at the RA one though. And doesn't beatport have one based on their sales too?

It absolutely baffles me why people get all upset about this poll. Its 100%, unashamedly a popularity contest. facebook has been blwoing up tonight because David Guetta is #1 this year. NEWS FLASH...he deserves to be, and its not even close!

Do I personally like him? Um, no. But he has 24 MILLION fans on facebook. The #2 dj in the world...Armin...has less than 4 million. David Guetta is, by far, the most recognizable name in dance music right now...its not even close. No one is saying he is the best, and that he is a better dj than say, Armin, or Sasha, or whoever. He is merely more POPULAR. Why is that such a big deal?

People seem to take such personal offense to this poll every year. I just don't get it.

That's just the nature of voting, whether you're voting on politicians, referendums, or where to find the best slice in the city. Like the saying goes, opinions are like assholes, etc etc. People get upset because anyone who thinks differently from them must be stupid (well, anyone who disagrees with me is definitely an idiot ) and if that many people think that way then oh god the human race is doomed!!!11uno

I suspect there would be just as much moaning if Armin was still #1, but I'm not gonna bother digging up the old thread to check.

it's funny how some people think he deserves the #1 spot. i wonder if you would be saying the same thing if you were the number 1 as a trance dj and david guetta took your spot.

wow... those fireworks were almost laughable considering the mood in that place wah wah wahhhhhhhh

but armin is such a good guy and handled it well

The fact that Guetta is getting such hate is just ridiculous. Just because you and I dont like him, doesnt mean you can deny his popularity. Lets face it, he reaches a broader audience of people...why? Because thats what the BROADER AUDIENCE LIKES. No one gives a shit if you voted for Simon or Digweed or Vath, because in reality, 75% of the voters on this poll have no idea who those guys are. That doesnt make them SUCK, it just makes them less commercial.

It also makes this poll irrelevant to most "educated" music fans.

Shit happens. People reacting so emotionally to a poll really cracks me up: like, if you have time to go write all that nonsense on Guetta's wall, you clearly need to get a life or a hobby.

On the flip side though, there are a lot of great artists that have stayed true to putting out and / or spinning good music. A part of me has a fear that they need to get some recognition for this work or they might sell out, as many have recently *cough* Garraud *couch* Emery *cough* Sander *cough*
