| One thing you cant deny is that you dont get any suprises. He supports his label heavily (understandably) but he seems quite content to play whatever is big along with a few older numbers. |

I'm not going to lie... I've never been that big a Tiesto fan time period aside, but that tracklisting looks like pure unadulterated gold. |

that's just what he does though. he appeals to the easiest common denominator. |

But you have to admit, if anything else, he's a gateway drug. I doubt that some n00b is going to get into electronic music by one day waking up and saying... I used to like rock, but now I've realized that vocals and melody are cheeze... J00F ftw!
So if anything else, Tiesto is important for that reason. |

+1. That set is really enticing. |

there's no saying it isn't important to people, a lot of people, admitting it or not, will list one of armin tiesto pvd etc as their early favourite djs before moving on. Some people dont move on, but a lot do. However a lot of people who slag him for unfair reasons (ie. because he's popular rather than cos of what he plays or how he plays it) cause problems. |

Why do you think it's called "moving on"? Precisely you'd like to say the music Tiësto and his likes play is a lower form of electronic music. That's wrong; perhaps it's more accessable, yes, but thats all.
I changed a lot the past years / my taste changed. I'm more open to deep progressive trance and psytrance too nowadays (E.g Dousk or Whirloop); but I still enjoy Tiësto sets. It's really no shame to listen to that music too. And I think I'll always find a time to listen to one of his sets in the future too now and then. I'm really not going to give this up because "I want to move on in a 'good' way".
Ontopic: I think Tiësto is slightly getting up from the slumber he used to be in at 2004. |

I gotta say that ending does look tasty with the lolitas there...
I agree with some of the folks here, tastes change and that's all there is to it. I myself have moved on to less bpm's aka house but I don't fall on the usual hating of the big names just because they're more popular... It is what it is. |

Actually apart from the tunes he really likes (Progression, Ralphie) he does not support the label as hard as in say 2001-2.
If anything, the label is finally bigger than Tiesto's playlist - supporting the b-list careers of Cor Fijneman, Mark Norman and Ton TB as well as Tiesto's hits.
While i'd have to agree he is the focal point for new party-goers - partly from reputation, partly from accessibility... he can still 'drop' a deeper, thought out, intelligent built up set when he wants to.
It is what i just heard in Vienna (thanks Konijn for posting the t/list!) where he forgets to be the hyped-up-superstar, and just plays - those are nights to roll back the years to a time when the whole Tiesto scene was not so engulfed in hype machine. |
