Oh, come on. You honestly think that's why threads like this rapidly degenerate?

It surely has nothing to do with people becoming frustrated that they haven't thought their opinions out well enough, and then flaming others for pointing it out. People easily become emotionally attached to popular names; the real test of integrity is if they can rationally defend their reasons for doing so.

Anyone who is rated as being "better" than anyone else.

Better is a matter of subjective orgnaization (ranking) thus whats rated higher for you might not be the same for everyone else.

All music is culturally valid, and, thus, all is as good as all others.

(PS, haha to you people who say schulz isnt over rated )

Posted by torontotrance on Dec-02-2004 22:25:

I'm not going to rant here (surprise eh?)

Overated
Markus
Armin
Tiesto
Tall Paul (probably the top of my list)

Underated
Kitaro (not a dj but excellent producer and artist and not many artists have won a grammy and a golden globe)
Darren Emerson
Ulrich Schnauss

Ok seriously, even if I didn't have my issues with Markus I would still think he's over-rated. A DJ that plays the same types of tunes over and over is boring. Progressive music is much more than bleeps and beaps over a trancy bassline. Maybe with time you will understand where I'm coming from. I once thought Armin & Markus were good but than as I started to listen to more and more music, I than realized they were shit.

The closer you follow dance music the less you are likely to cling onto a particular DJ or sound. You, like the music, become ever changing.

Remeber that change is what gives dance music its beauty. Embrace this philosophy and you will never have your heart broken when your favorite DJ or artists disappear, which they will eventually.

some TA's that think they invented bass, constantly talking shit.....chances are half them proly can't even match a beat.

Very true and nicely written. Agreed.

Most of the big name djs are overrated. There are plenty of amateur djs than can dj just as good (if not better) than the really popular djs. Don't get me wrong, i'm in no way saying they suck, just that they're overrated.
