I know I'm gonna get trashed and bad mouthed about this post, but really he is good but people on here are all over him. You know there are plenty of great DJ's out there that I don't see everyone rantin and ravin about. For example : Paul Van Dyk, Oakenfold, Digweed, Sasha, Sandra Collins, Acosta, Kai Tracid, Etc.

i am just as perplexed by this tiesto phenomenon as you mate
i may be fairly new to this board but i know my trance producers and Djs quite well and i honestly don't see the reason for the worship of tiesto that is so prevalent on this forum. he is a good dj and an ok producer but there are many others who have come before and after him that are better, maybe its just personal preference but that doesnt hold too well when you consider there are several other big names out there playing the same style and tracks as he just as well and/or better. so i guess i am still perplexed...

down to personal taste and opinion

no point discussing why people like him, if you dont like him, dont listen to his sets/productions or pay the money to go see him.

Simple

1. personal taste
2. not everybody is into tiesto, especially not @ TA
3. in before da lock?

About a million times

Flesh (tiesto mix)
Street Spirit (tiesto mix)

Suburban Train

^that's why I like Tiesto. No, his DJing isn't the best ever, but he's popular so that must say something... and as a producer he's very hit-and-miss. He's made some (IMO) great tunes like the ones above, but also plenty crappers like Traffic, Southern Suck, Love Comes Again...

And if you don't think people rant and rave about PvD and Sasha, then take a look around...

not to perpetuate this discussion but i HAVE to reply
so by your logic, darude and dj sammy are popular so that must say something, and no one ever said he sucked (tiesto) ofcourse he has had some good productions, i just can't seem to figure out the infatuation a lot (not all) of the TA users have with him.

I personally rave about pvd , but only in the closet

The problem is that people are basing their opinions of him today on things he did 4 years ago.
