Armin actually can produce. So that kinda settles it.

This CD is loaded with uplifting, energetic, blood moving tracks intricately mixed with angelic perfection. From that moment on, I could feel the magik flowing through my veins while listening to the music that Tijs carefully samples and produces. His creativity allows him to develop the concepts of songs that bring life and energy to people around the world.

Interesting comparison because both are only mediocre producers of their genre.
Probably Armin... if only for Blue Fear.

Definitely Tiesto - at least back in the day... In My Memory was an excellent album, and I still think Suburban Train is the best epic trance song ever. Armin has a few nice songs ("Song For The Ocean" dub, "Blue Fear", "Communication") but a lot of it just seems too overproduced and dull.

Armin is a good producer, again "Empty State" is a solid track. But "A tear in the open" is just as solid for me. Tiesto just has a more tangible sound for me even though they both can't produce for shit. I'd say stick to Djing but who am I to say
I want to be a pirate
