I'll let you in on a little secret:

It's quite possible to like trance without liking what one DJ plays.

Yeah it's just like how McFly are the most influential band on the UK rock scene...

Tiesto is alright. I think he used to be better, and I think too much emphasis is placed on him being who he is. It seems like more attention is placed on making a show grandiose, than it is on just having a great set at a great venue.

That being said, there is a place for him and his type of show. And if it causes a few more people to realize what else EDM has to offer, then fine.

not commenting on his technical skills or his own productions, but the tracks he plays in his radio show and his last two isos cd have been really good. so compared to that, armin, ferry and co are a lot more commercial than tiesto. don't know what kinda stuff he plays in his live gigs though (probably his own tracks mostly).

so i don't know if he even plays that much regular trance anymore?

what i hate about tiesto is most of his ignorant fans though, who probably think tiesto wrote all these songs he plays (when in fact he's not even written all of his own songs) and is making the sounds live in his gigs.
at what point did playing other people's records make you a god.

and the fees he gets from his gigs is just ridiculous. but then again who wouldn't take all the money if someone would be willing to pay it.

I think the only area in which Tiesto has been influential in EDM over the last couple years is marketing and self-promotion. Certainly not in musical influence. Maybe we can credit him to attracting more noobs to the scene as well, but then again the same can be said of DJ Sammy, etc.

laser, the only influence tiesto has had on me is to make me dislike the genre of trance.
anyone that has been in the dance scene for longer than three years know that tiesto is a joke.
those polls mean absolutely nothing, so who gives a fuck if hes always in the top five.
the guys music sucks, not to mention his talent!

i bet you never heard of james zabiela have you?
