Maybe if he hadn't just found the world of edm about 2/3 months ago he would understand your point, and what we are trying to do.

This retard will never get it either. But not just because he has only just found trance about a week ago like gouuryella has, but with the added fact that he is simply a complete and utter spastic, completely incapable of understanding and comprehending the simplest of things.

People, please take the following points into consideration before you vote:

The DJ Mag Poll does not accurately reflect the skill of the DJs - one reason why many of us are opposed to it

Many people actually DO use this poll as an indicator of the "skill" of the DJs in the top 100. Club owners, promoters, music fans and clubbers DO use this poll to judge the skill and technical ability of DJs, despite what some people have said in this thread.

You might argue that the DJ Mag Top 100 poll just indicates the popularity of DJs, but many people take this poll literally!! It is hurting our scene and it only encourages greed and complacency.

We are campaigning for our TA representative DJ Mikey Mikey to get in the top 100 for a bit of fun!

Show the world how strong our trancEaddict community is!

Please, Vote 1 DJ Mikey Mike...then vote for whoever you want in the other places.

I disagree there mikey boy, whats stopping Tiesto amassing hundreds or thousands of email addresses just to spam his own 'popularity'?

The Crazy Frog Axel F song was popular, as such got to the top of the charts.

Does that make it right?

no i agree with you totally. i didnt say it was right. i just said the whole point in the dj mag poll is to assess the djs popularity and it does just that.

Here it is - your chance to play a vital role in deciding the outcome of the most important poll in dance music.

DJ Magazine's Top 100 DJs Poll is taken so seriously by clubbers, promoters and DJs worldwide for one reason - because it is a 100% public vote.

Any DJ can be voted for, from the guy in your local bar to the big international superstars, meaning there is no better measure of which DJs are most popular on dancefloors across the globe.

Rank the DJs who've impressed you the most over the last year from 1 - 5 in the fields below.

Wow some people are retarded! I'm with Ian^ on the public hanging.

DJ Mikey Mike ftw, no.1 and then the rest blank.

Fucking hell. On the basis of this thread TA should be shut down. All it is is a breeding ground for idiots. Get rid of TA and see how that affects the dj mag poll

I see this more as a nice opportunity to show that DJ Mag is a useless way to gauge the ability of a dj.

Tis one big high school popularity contest

whats wrong with a popularity cointest? nowhere does it say talent is involved..

Tell me what the hell Tiesto has done for trance. What his DJing has done for this scene. Hell, what has his productions done for this scene? I'll give you the short answer: dick.

Trance as you know it was already firmly in place before you even knew Tiesto existed. In fact, by the time Tiesto was Number 1 it had already burned out creatively. The way I see it, all Tiesto has done with his endless ultra-bombastic super-mixes of vocal tracks is keep trance crystallised in this stupid stage of "let's see how far we can go with one idea until it breaks". And it's pillocks like you sounding off about how much he has done for the scene when you actually don't have a clue what you're talking about, that's gonna keep things exactly as they are today.

All that said, Suburban Train was a fucking choon. But then again, that has nothing to do with his DJing abilities.

Lol, I'd love to see the results of that, no TA voting

And what's the point of debating this issue anyway, it has been talked about plenty of times on this forum and it leads to nothing. If you don't want to vote for Mikey, don't, if you do, then do it, stop the debates. You're not changing anyones opinions anyway

DJMag should also have a section that explains that Producer != DJ...

Yes, but my inital post that was aimed at someone else, was due to them saying that they were voting for so-n-so due to what they have done for the scene or produced or whatever, which shouldn't be a swaying factor in the popularity of a dj, bad sadly is, as people will flock to see producers-turned-djs as they recognise the name.

You see, a dj who doesnt produce, has a hard time becoming popular, as thei name is only spread through their gigs.

Prolly why so many djs now start up amateur productions in an attempt to build a bigger fanbase.

It's all become one big stint at self-marketing

The dj that has impressed me the most this year, is one I had not heard of until a few months ago, Ian Betts.

Also, the problem I have with this poll, is it makes newbies think that the top ranked djs are so ranked to to skill and what-have-you, not taking into account it is merely a sheer number of votes that decides where on the chart they rank.

Cue newb of 3 months spurting "Tiest0r must be the bestest deejay in the world, he wouldn't be numebr 1 in DJ Mag otherwise"

Not that most people here understand that. Too bad..
