* technically nailed
* ability to read the crowd

| a very good dj is a guy who can play a track you hate in a way that will make you beg to hear it next time (among other things) |

yes, its important not to be a twat.
although it does actually work for some DJ's. Richie Hawtin is reknowned for being a big headed twat, but i will still go and see him play because he is wicked! |

Impressive answer and totally correct.
The only other thing that you need to add to the list is the ability to put something of your own personality into what you are doing. Then it's up to people if they like it or not.

| I would also say that you need to be able to make the crowd go crazy time and time again if your able to do that then I would say you qualify as a good DJ. |

Yup, but I think that is more the end result of being a good DJ rather than a component. :)

If you can walk into a room of random people and have the dancefloor rocking in only a matter of minutes, then I say you are a damn fine DJ regardless of what you keep in your bag of DJ tricks.
