I don't think i have enough experience with trance to give a indepth opinion on this, but i'm going to try, just say if it's a crock of **** or not tbh.
I personally don't have a general section of trance i prefer, if i like what i hear, i listen to it, it doesn't matter who it's by really.
Personally, i am a fan of tiesto, mainly because of the vibe i can feel from his sets, i'm also a fan of armin and pvd, plus mainy other dj's.
Yes, i prefer tiesto because of this vibe, but i like the way armin can change his sets so simply, and the energy that pvd's sets have.
I agree with torontotrance here, tiesto does need a break of a few months, he's gotta be damn bored playing some of the same tunes over and over again, anyone would be. Also, tiesto needs to look back and listen to his sets from 1999 - through 2000 and upto mid 2001, that is the style that makes him a good DJ, with the new style he started with, he cannot mix for shit tbh, it doesn't suit him.
I haven't enjoyed tiesto's sets of late, though i haven't had the change to listen to Tiesto in Concert yet (link anyone? ).
This post is getting to long...gonna finish off with a quick note, Tiesto is a crowd pleaser, he tries to get the crowd worked up and does interact a lot, this is what i think with his fans makes him the number one DJ in the world, but unless he goes back and listens and learns from his old days, he won't be number one for much longer (officially)
damn, long post =/
