I haven't posted here in ages but whatever.
Great for Tiesto....he deserved it, but this is the last time I'll vote in the Dj Mag poll. I'm also glad PvD was #2 and not Armin. Armin has disappointed me the last year or so....Armin Van Boring indeed. Ferry moved right up there too, which is great.
So...here we have it. Trance Dj's in the Top 3 spots. To all those who have said that Trance is dying and prog/house/techno is taking over....well don't you look silly?

Sorry if I piss anyone off here.
Tiesto should NOT have won the #1 spot agian. He was the shit when he spun proppa trance in 2000 & 2001 but, now ... he's changed and so has attitude.
Perfect example about his attitude ? The guy keeps changing genres, on his Nyana CD .. he had to make it a double CD to please everyone and finally the title and all the awards footages in his current DvD.

I understand a lot of people's frustration for Tiesto these days. He is my favourite moreso based on what he did pre 2002. Tiesto from 97-2001 was unequalled in my mind but he has weakend a bit in the last two years. ISOS3 was very different, but still good. Nyana was decent.....not great and certainly not a classic but there are some great tunes on that cd.
I think, if Tiesto REALLY wants to win back the fans who crave the banging, uplifting trance style....he has to do a Magik 8. There is no question that the Magiks and ISOS are his most famous series and the reasons why most love him in the first place.
I'll never expect another Magik 6 or Innercity 99 (two flawless mix albums), but i think he needs to get away from the Nyana/Traffic direction and get back to his roots. I doubt he will take my advice, but I do have to admit that I love Tiesto based more on what he HAS done rather than what he is doing NOW. Believe me, it takes a lot to admit that. That's why I won't vote in next year's Dj Mag.

it's not a trance magazine....it's a general electronica magazine....if anything, it has more emphasis on the house genre since it is British. Everyone will just have to accept that trance is massively popular...perhaps more now than ever, as is shown in the Dj rankings last year and especially this year.
