i guess this was said in the main discussion thread, but dj dan #5
i understand a large number of votes coming in from the US, but dj dan ??
and who in the world is amadeus ?

oh well
we all know the politics behind this poll
good to see above and beyond rising tho

i'm not sure but amadeus might have been the 'joke' vote this year. he could actually be a popular dj, but i've never heard of him. (waits for tayfoon to confirm)

Posted by apri_peel on Oct-28-2006 22:39:

the joke vote was lord of bass, some greek hard dance dj who apparently is pretty terrible and some people tried to vote for mikey mike again

Posted by Tayfoon on Oct-28-2006 23:53:

Amadeus just got all his friends to vote for him 100 times a day

Sammy is slowly rising !

If you think DJ Dan is a fuckin joke... what about John 00 Fleming not even making it on the Top 100!!!!!!!!!

Now, he isn't my #1 fave DJ but I did put him in my top 5 vote... IIRC he was placed 22nd last year... and now... Non existent on the list... Goes to show how COMPLETELY BULLSHIT the dj mag top 100 has become...

/end rant

What a joke.

Oh well, at least we got this.

i think TA poll was bit more accurate of the connaisseurs of the scene
dj mag is a representation of the mainstream club scene, we all know that. it's targeted at people like barstars and clubber kids, not so much as people like TAs or members of trance.nu, we know bit more about what's going on

yeah, loss of j00f from top 100 was a blow, same as placing dj dan before ferry

Well, to be fair, TA's poll wasn't exactly a glowing example of musical diversity either.

can't please everyone.

any system where you can vote 100 times a day for anyone you want, real or not, is fcked. And stop putting TA on a pedestal for comparison apri. TA (and trance.nu) are not the bible of trance.

Both votes are general representations of a sample consensus of who has done well this past year to entertain or expose themselves. Take it with a grain of salt because of the way the vote is conducted and that only those who voted (some many times, some once) get a say in shaping the rank. Also take it with a grain of salt because there's a 1 in billion chance that poll is an exact match of YOUR poll.

no, it wasn't representative of all of electronic music
but it still was a fairly good mirror of how the trance scene was doing

what i said was that TA poll was more accurate of what djmag poll was originally conceived to be. so next time, greg, read what i said first before criticizing my point of view and telling me what not to do

Wow, I wouldn't think that people who thought of themselves as being into underground music would care about charts. Isn't that for the Top 40 crowd?

Posted by apri_peel on Nov-14-2006 15:08:

there are different kinds of charts
top40 charts are one of them

Posted by obs on Nov-19-2006 21:48:

Yeah, but charts are still a sign of what appeals to the masses (not that I think trance is anything underground in 2006 anyways).

There are uses for charts. I use to use them for discovering tracks that I might have missed. But if my favourite track/artist/whatever isn't on top, who cares?
