Your worst nightmare (Top100)

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

The good news - the winner is not Armin/Tiesto/PVD or whoever from the commercial trance camp lol i am sick and tired of these ''DJs''
The bad news - the winner is David Guetta,who represents the so called electro/pop house scene,wich is WAY MUCH WORSE THAN TRANCE.. All the rest is well known - this kind of pulls are not about quality of the djs,they are about their popularity..its sad that the most popular DJ is David Guetta,but it is what it is...

''"A lot of people don't like the success of someone like David Guetta...But it's a blessing in disguise. He can get the attention of people who don't know anything about dance music. From there maybe they'll move on to something more underground. So thank you David. Your music sucks, but it helps."

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

the list reflects the music tastes of the current generation which is crap and probably 80% of them would drop off the list and be replaced by new tools next year ...

i vote for the new queen of house music for no.1 next year .. paris hilton

I do not understand what the problem is, all we know how is this ranking,
years ago, and all we know who are the best DJs. according to our own styles,
we don´t need a magazine of popularity, to tell us this.
It is also true that many kids have voted and they probably,
they prioritized the "fuck*** radio music artists" also known as "MTV top 20 artists"
before the true spirit of the artist's club.

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

Yeah I'm happy Armin was dethroned but not happy that Guetta won either. But to each his own. As long as the DJs I like continue to play great music I couldn't care less about whose popular or what the rest of the world thinks about EDM.

How things can change in 10 years, eh? (well, at least according to the readership of a magazine and/or the nature of how the competition is decided )

When music was music.

Now there's good music and good artists too, but without much recognition.
depending on the different rankings. of course.

We wouldn't be human if we didn't want to see our favourites recognised by all.:

So we just have a little bit of a rant every year It's healthy

Corven is right !

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

Exactly, it's just a good lol at DJ Mag, it's a ritual, who cares. Our fave dj's do care, though .

One thing I need to say: Today's Top100 does't represent club culture anymore, faithful or joke, it's a completely different thing now. To make a comparison, Big Brother's contestants can be hugely famous, as in popular, that doesn't mean they represent anything but themselves. A top 100 poll where you have 75 unknowns, wannabes, retired has-beens, the girlfriend of this, the business partner of that, what for?

I think the poll needs a re-think i.e. I would like to see the DJ mag poll limited to people that buy the magazine i.e. you buy a particular issue and get a code inside for one vote.

I still wouldn't necessarily care who won, but the poll would be more representative & credible.

Impossible, these days,
for some people, money is more important
than the quality of music or artists.

Re: Your worst nightmare (Top100)

^^^ I think it's just that to 80% of the population music is only a soundtrack to what else is going on in their lives. We 20 % are privileged to be able ble to hear what we do

Well said. What shits me is, credit is being taken for being popular alone, yet it's a DJ poll, the skills of being a DJ; mixing, song selection, tempo control, etc. etc. is not what counts.

The core values of being a DJ is seriously forgotten in this year to year worthless poll. I don't think people really vote for the attributes of a DJ rather just a popularity contest.
