Tiesto is a gateway DJ, bets are the juniors go for him the seniors for Sasha, it all progressive. No pun intended! hehehe

I've had to change my vote since the last Sasha vs. Tiësto poll because I hadn't really given Sasha too much of a chance. Recently I have sat down and listened to his stuff from back in 1996 all the way to some stuff from 2004/2005. All of it is stellar. He has redefined his image, his sound, and stayed true to playing what he wants and not what is popular. Though I still love Tiësto, and his productions, he just cannot compare to Sasha's resumé and consistency. I'm saying Sasha for the past 9 years.

That's what I'm banking on. I figure most of the people that voted for Tiesto have either never strayed away from listening to just Trance long enough to hear a real dj, or have only been listening to electronic music for the last couple years. In most cases I figure it's a combination of both since so many people were saying they hate prog house which just happens to be one of the most exciting genres of EDM right now. I guess we'll see as the votes come in. I could be totally wrong, but this is TA so who knows what the hell will happen.

It's not their work from the past 9 years, it's how long YOU have been listening to electronic music, and who your preference is.

In reference to this. I have been listening to trance since 1997. Back when Sasha was huuuuuge, though he still is. I stopped listening to trance for a while, and got back into it due majorly in part to Tiësto's catchy productions. So, in all actuality, from the beginning I was more into Oakenfold and Liquid. I never really was listening to Sasha too much way back when. Now thay I have, I can see what all the hype's about.

krysta: so all of a sudden you listen to sasha for one day and change your vote for him for a entire 9 years.

Give me a break.

Tranc3 said it perfectly its who you have been listening to from the beginning and like more. I think your easily swayed thats all.

plus these polls are silly

Pretty much accurate....
Sasha's my #2 (see SIG below)- been listening since '98

I've noticed the Tiesto crowd has been staying away from this one. Guess they don't want to own up to the fact that they're mostly newbies.

Yeah, but at least they get interesting to read sometimes.

Sasha: 6-8 years all the way. Sasha is such a talented DJ, and so is Tiesto, but Tiesto is to commericalized if you ask me, and he is more for the younger crowd. Ask any teenager and they will say Tiesto is the best.

Sasha's old sets are unlike anything else. I love his sets from back in 1996. Oh my are they superb!!!
