Perfect. We've come to agreement :P Guetta can play his heart out for whoever likes his music. But I will argue for -- if Guetta sells more records the Guy Gerber (example), then that doesn't make Guetta a better musician. |
Agreed. The term "better" is annoying when it comes to music but I think there is something to be said for having the ability to make lots of people happy. |

Well thats a good argument, and no doubt there are forums for underground films. One my cousins has all these obscure movies, he gets movies that win Cannes awards and , but I dont think he is actively part of any movie forums. I'm just wondering why more people dont follow this way about their passionate art consumption of film, like they do about music... |
What makes you think they don't? |

I'm just saying, the internetz is a vast place. You don't think there's someone on movieaddicts.com or beeraddicts.com having this same conversation about their repsective fields? That's just being naive :p
In fact, movie buffs are bigger s than music buffs! You think the dance music elite are bad, you have no idea :stongue: |

what you're trying to get at is not even what i'm talking about. what i'm talking about is...
1) commercial music is cheesy, cheap, formulaic, mediocre, etc, etc, etc - agree or disagree, this has nothing to do with the fans or their enjoyment
2) the argument that some dj's merit as an artist can be explained through his money or dj mag is fallacious - there is no correlation here
in fact were i poll every long time fan of armin van buuren in regards to when he was a the top of his artistic game, i'd bet a strong majority would vote for some time long before he topped dj mag's chart. same with tiesto and pvd. |
1) Commercial/Cheap music = more accessible to noobs who will come to parties and enjoy themselves. Armin/Guetta obviously have gotten more fans as they've moved their sound closer to the mainstream (and the mainstream has moved more to EDM).
2) As I've said, ranking DJ's is largely a waste of time. Still, if these guys do their jobs right (play music people like) then they'll move up the chart and make more money. The dj mag poll simply tells us who currently has the ability to provide a good time for the most people. That might not be important to you, but the ability for a musician to entertain is not something which should be completely discounted either.
But honestly, I think we've been 95% in agreement the whole time. I can't believe I've wasted an entire afternoon on this.
Now to go find beeraddict.com and start some . |
