Most of the big name djs are overrated. There are plenty of amateur djs than can dj just as good (if not better) than the really popular djs. Don't get me wrong, i'm in no way saying they suck, just that they're overrated.

No you are..!

the reason people say markus schulz and ben lost etc are over rated is, imo, beacuse the trance scene got desperately shite for a bit and then these new characters came along and were a breath of fresh air, and a lot of people hyped them up too much and went on about them too much, and now people are just sick of hearing about them. admitiddly this ultra-melodic leama and moor sound is getting a bit old now, but you cant take anything away from either of these djs, as they both played the only 2 trance sets that i actually enjoyed this year, and tbh are the only two trance djs that i would actually pay to see. both of them are good djs with individual tune selections.
tranceaddict is so full of negativity sometimes, people just slate dj/producers because its the cool thing to do, and its quite sad really.

All threads like this turn into is the same people hating on the same artists that they have always hated on. Blah. Yawn. I would be more inclined to listen to someone if I didn't feel that they had personal issues with certain artist's, but it always turns into the same debate..."my favorite artists are better than yours and here's the reasons why...". "With time" I have learned to dislike certain TA's, but you don't see me posting my hate all over TA. Ok...maybe just one thread.

How can you say that when zabiela plays totally different music and style, Not everyone likes the same music u know..... Use your brain a little more next time....

For everyone else thats bitching about armin , paul and tiesto being over rated you can bitch all you want , theres a reason why they're up there... think a little more about it.

That's cool with me. Shit happens. I'm sure we'll always disagree on one thing or another, but such is life.

I definitely share your opinions on Markus and the whole "diet-cola" sound right now. I never saw what was so special about Markus from the get-go. However, I do give Armin props. Not because of his dj'ing or producing, but because he's got one of the coolest names.

where is Tall Paul overrated? He has a bi-monthly residence here in Boston and it's all tumbleweeds on the dancefloor when he's in town.

and it's just Tiesto as far as overrated. No one even comes close. He's in a league all by himself.

i think these kind of posts are stupid, because if you just go to the top 100dj poll thread, you can find everyones opinion on this fuckin crap. or if you just search for armin van buuren. you have to think about it. he is a popular dj, which some people dont like, so of course people are going to think he is overrated.
