Expect the usual quota of musicians who don't DJ to feature. I wonder how long it'll be before someone who doesn't even make music gets listed. |
But its a DJ list, not a producer list, but I do agree, I remember seeing BT and chicane on the list and wondered just how many mixes they have done in the year compared to Sasha, Tiesto etc. |

It's because a lot of the people who vote are so clueless they don't even know the difference between a DJ and a producer. It's the main reason why the chart is an utter farce. |

Yeah, there should be some guidelines for who qualifies to be on the list. A lot of the folks on that list are strictly producers, albeit very talented producers, but not DJ's. Hell, if enough people vote for Michael Vick, he could be the next #1 DJ...or something like that. :p
I understand it from a business stand-point though. The DJ Mag Top 100 is a very well-known poll that brings in a lot of business to DJ Mag from people who would have otherwise never heard of them. |

In all seriousness, I challenge someone to provide me with good a explanation as to why these polls are a "vital" and necessary part of electronic music. |
Supposedly because clubs have made it so, and based booking around it. Operative word being 'supposedly'. |

Clubs base booking around it, yeah, but that doesn't say why the poll is a "good" thing. |

It does explain why it's become a vital part of it all though... |

I guess I was referring more to the fact that they made it sound like the poll was sort of a lifeline of electronic music and that the whole "scene" as it were would fall apart without it. |

Yes, because who you vote for in this poll will directly affect how your country is run. |

Do you think TA Polls will replace DJ Mag one day?
Are you competing with them? Do you see them as your competitor? |
