Years? How about weeks, or even days? That's how often I "change" my taste in music, I get bored very quickly...

hmm... good question

relatively new to electronica... so talking about the years wouldn't be good for me, it's all kind of a blur... so i'll break the rules and just say that throughout recent years the top DJs, for me, are:

Schulz, Gabriel&Dresden, Tiesto, Armin, Above & Beyond and Ferry Corsten, baby!

sorry i didn't follow the guideline but i'd be useless in dividing it into years. started off with Tiesto from the niederlande and Cosmic Gate from deutschland... moved onto Ferry Corsten... ended up with Schulz as my ULTIMATE favorite (and i don't see that changing, ever!) with G&D and A&B as a close tied second place. Schulz above all, but i can't live without the trance of A&B and the organic-science of G&D

and i never forget the classic DJs, of which Tijs is my favorite, hell i still love Tiesto!

i dont know about through out the years but i gotta good idea who is continually awesome throughout every year.

1)DJ TIESTO
2)ARMIN VAN BUUREN
3)PAUL VAN DYK
4)DJ MICRO
5)JOHN DIGWEED

Now i know many of these are main stream artists but you gotta think to yourself why they are main stream....because there good!

There are many other good DJ's and what not BUT these are very good DJ's all the time

My opinion does change about things often though just not at the moment...usually everytime i hear new music
