| Hey why are turntablists better 'technical djs'?? |

Because they can pull off tricks with turntables that would leave your average trance DJ crying in the corner.
On the other hand, there's a huge difference between technical ability and the ability to entertain a crowd. On the purely technical side, turntablists piss all over most of the 'regular' DJs, On the entertainment side, well, that's up to you to decide. |

Well your regular turntablist comes on stage with an act he/she has been working on for a while (correct me if im wrong). But your trance DJ is more anonymous in what tracks he/she plays during the set, trance DJ's set would go for alot longer.
Dont think you can really compare the two. |

Because, once again, it's a popularity poll rather than a list based on quality. |

Maybe I should have said "technical skills" instead of "quality", since quality can be defined in so many different ways, subjective to everyone's opinions. Doesn't make the DJ Mag list less of a popularity poll in my book, though.
On a side note, no, I did not remove the quote in my sig because of this. I still agree with it, it's just that I thought it was time for something different (i.e., my three favourite records of the moment). |
