Guetta sinks down to 4th, I mean at least Armin only sank down 1 slot not 3. Still puke at this list...

Most of the DJs that I'd want to go and see are either far down the list or aren't on there at all.. guess my tastes are still underground..

Resident Advisor is the poll that's more up my alley, apparently.

pretty crazy to still see tiesto relevant, even moving up to #2 after dropping.

Daft Punk #44

they are great djs. i mean its only been like 10 years since they spun live for a crowd.

Most of the names up there you may not recognize are hard style / hard dance DJs & Producers. I'm guess Q-Dance really helped mobilize the votes for them (Q-Dance is owned by ID&T for those that don't know).

How so? Yea his music sucks but the guy has a brand about him, and completed a US College tour this year. Fanboys voted for him I'm sure. To those that like him, he is still an icon in the industry, even if his sounds has gone to hell in the process.
