Is Tiesto the Nr 1 Dj in the world?

I had an argument with a friend of mine today.
He wouldn't believe me when I told him that Tiesto was voted best Dj of the top 100 this year.
But he claims that there can be a lot of top hundreds.
So now I'm looking for something to prove I'm right.
Can anybody tell me where I can find the entire list.
(please do,cause I've bet him for it! )

Thx

Search for DJ Mag Top 100, it's the most respectable poll for electronic dance music. And it's based on popularity, otherwise (technical ability0) most DJs on the Top 100 would be hip hop turntablists, techno and jungle djs. Peace.

O, by the way, does anybody happens to know where I can find(download) a program to cut audio-files?
I know I'm asking a lot, but I really want to burn some Paul Van Dyk mixes on cd

if i remember rightly theres something on the software page (from the main page) of this very site

I know, but it isn't compatible for Xp.
But it's ok, I'll try to find it myself

Who is that Tiesta dude you're talking about

He might be number one on that list, but if there was a poll on here Armin would probably win.

tiesto cant beatmatch


he is most popular dj in the world, not best

I just saw that list for the millionth time and still can't believe how people managed to let Armin van Buuren fall in 5th place! WTF!

By the way, Tiesto has become a cookie cut.

Yes, this is a popularity contest within the EDM scene (note the absence of major cheeseballs such as Sammy, ATB and Darude that would be on the list if this was a mainstream contest).

If this list were about technique, then no trance djs would be in it because other genres require much more ability.

But in terms of music as an art (and not a sport where you could quantify someone being better than someone else) Tiesto holds the balance of the force in his taste of style and groove, and that is why I voted for him as the #1 dj in the world

In what way has Tiesto become a cookie cut if last year he BROKE THE MOLD of what everyone expected the Tiesto sound to be? If he was truly a cookie cut he would do a Magik 8 with the latest hands in the air Dutch anthems. But guess what? That is over, because the quality of Dutch melodic anthems has decreased greatly over the last few years.

Armin is the one that plays a LOT of cookie cutter trance that oftentimes sounds stale, repetitive and boring. Hand in the air anthems are all sounding the same man! I love Armin, but he's far far far away from having the classiness and artistic level that Tiesto has achieved over the years.

i think thsi case is mainly brought about by the fact cheese lovers dont by dg mag, the buy mixmag, if anything.

most popular, but anyway he deserved it

Digweed is by far the best DJ I've seen, and I've seen most of that top ten, with the exception of PvD and AvB. up to this point the progressive sound is what does it for me live. When I saw Tiesto He wasn't that good.

Maybe It's just the sets I've listened to the majority of Armin's sets are progressive/progressive trance up until the way end, when he lets loose three or four big anthems. You sure you got the right dj?

If anyone was ever guilty of playing too many anthems, it's Corsten.

digweed is good and he has nice skills in the mixing department, but i would never say he was the best dj live. i prefer sasha.... but i just wanted to say, pvd is no minor exception, many people would agree with me that he is the best dj live (and i mean as an overall experience.)

see...the way I see it is Paul van Dyk owns everything he touches mmkay..Paul van Dyk is god...and i think that he should be #1 not tiesto becuase tiesto was great in the day of the like 98 99 and 2000 along with Corsten but i feel the shit he spinns now is just kinda lame...well most of it but not all..there is flow but it dosnt make me move like Tiesto live at Mystery Land 1999 or Tiesto live at Trance Energy 2000 those sets are great and i could listen to them over and over again...but now i hear things like homelands and innercity and it just dosnt have that groove...that magical feeling of happyness i get from people like Paul van Dyk or Scott Project or even Nik Fish....what im trying to say is Tiesto was great but now i just dont feel him anymore... like the way i used to

All these "#1 Dj in the world" threads always end up in flame wars, it's pathetic. I don't get why everyone rants about who should be the #1 dj in the world It's a poll done by other people for fuck sakes. Everyone probably chooses their favortie Dj and not the "best" Dj.

It's a popularity contest and that's it. I mean how can we rate the best Dj if we've never heard them all?
