And according to the expert DJmag returning officer Gordon Knott, the coveted top position is still too close to call. The only clue he would give is that it's a three horse raceÖ

I don't think that this is confirmed,,, but I think these guys will all be up there (in no order):

PvD
Tiesto
Sasha
Digweed
Armin (hopefully) ;-)


AND about Tiesto no deserving to be up there...

Maybe all of you guys who talk shit about Tiesto don't like his style of Prog that he switched to,,, one thing you have to realize that many people don't even realize this. These people aren't educatd about music like you guys are and Tiesto is thier favorite DJ for whatever reason. I bet Tiesto would get voted #1 in my city by the reaction he recieved when he was here,,, and I'm sure it's no diffrent in most cities around the world as well. I don't know if he derserve to be number 1 over anyone else up there but he's deffinetly in the top 5 IMO.

~my 2 cents~

Will you look at that, Oakenfold outnumbers Corsten.
Not bad from a chap that wanted to move from his country because of
the bad reception of Bunkka.

hehe
seriously tho, what the hell are you talking about??

residentadvisor is probably the most unreliable info source I've ever come across

I will be incredibly surprised if Sasha, let alone Tiesto, get voted ahead of Digweed

&

Lee Burridge - The emerging talent of the breaks/house world
Danny Howells - Another emerging talent of the house world
Cass - Been at it a long time, forms part of Cass & Slide (Perception), runs FIRE records and is so much more deserving than 102 ffs

the fact that armin van buuren is #5 and Judge Jules is #7 means the poll is stupid, I'm not having a dig at trance here, but the fact remains that there are a lot better dj's in a whole range of genres than them. Where's the likes of Andy C, LTJ Bukem, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin in that list? it is a void.
