Originally posted by thoughtlessjex So track that shows no effort whatsoever but is caned by every DJ deserves more credit than a track that is equisitely detailed and creative, but gets no playtime? Tracking Treasure Down deserves more credit than the original mix of Madagascar because G&D know how to pander and happen to be buddies with Armin? Fame can't justify a song, because fame also involves more politicking than you can imagine, and a certain level of marketability. Neither of those two have anything to do with what actually justifies a song: its inherent merits. This thread is about considering those tracks that had more politics and marketability behind them than merit. You can still enjoy the tracks that are listed as such, but just know that they are the result of a great deal of politics and marketing, and don't necessarily have the full musical experience in mind.

Have you heard TTD live? Did you see what it does with the crowd? And NO, it´s NOT because Armin & G&D are friends.

Originally posted by RebeL9 I have to dissapoint you but both Armin, PVD, Ferry and Johan Gielen (among several others) played Love Comes Again. Just check the tracklist section.

O RLY? Don´t remember that.

Don´t have time to check the tracklists now, going to see PVD & Steve Angello in a few minutes

yeah they did so I dunno where you got the impression that it wasnt as big as Traffic. Most big djs played it out.


oh I have to mention another tune which is propably more overrated than Traffic: Paul van Dyk - Nothing But you. seriously. it's really a shit tune.

Yup, hate Nothing But You. The vocals are awful.

Hope PVD won´t play it tonight

You're not answering my question. Does Tracking Treasure Down really deserve all this attention when it's not a very good tune? Does Madagascar, an excellent piece of music, deserved to be upstaged by mediocre tracks like Tracking Treasure Down?
