Originally posted by ibizzzaaa Oakenfold and Darude were on the peak of popularity around the same period of time. That popularity of the two died away at the approximately the same time as well. One user asked who still votes for Oakenfold. I responded that people still vote for Darude, meaning that if people still vote for him and his music made 6-7 years ago it is not surprising that people are still voting for Oakenfold and his '99 essential mixes and the title of "legend of trance" that critics and fans gave his around that time. Then another person said that Darude is actually a good dj. I responded to that comment saying that even if that's true - people vote for him mostly not for that reason, but for his other accomplishments circa early-2000's (meaning the immense commercial success of Sandstorm).

After Sandstorm peaked the whole success actually turned against him and people like you started to think him as a one hit wonder who only does Sandstorm seven times in one gig. Fact is, he's had to more or less start building his credibility from the ground up after that and prove he's something else. Sure, he might still get the dumb yanks voting for him because of something he made nearly a decade ago, but I would say the majority of votes is coming from the "real" solid fanbase he's collected since then.

Not that all of that matters seeing I was originally wondering how you managed to somehow compare Oakenfold to Darude. That just doesn't make any sense at all.

PS: Why did I even bother going through explaining all that? If you really think that you're THAT witty, then try a comment that doesn't deal with something as obvious and common sense as pop trance or Darude.

This bit I don't understand at all. You were the one talking about Darude, not me.

What the fuck do you have against Astrix? I love this "He's not mainstream therefore he must be shit" attitude. Have you ever even heard of him before you saw him in this list?

+1 for Noisia. And seriously, Miss Kittin, breaks?

i'm surprised the 16 bit lolitas weren't even on here.

last non trance DJ was digweed back in 2001.

too many kids voting nowadays, the only input they have on the poll is proving how much commercial success a dj gets. if this poll had some kind 'know your dj facts' maybe we'd get more credible results.
