unfortunately this thread was bound to break down, into Tiesto is crap, Oakenfold is crap, Sasha is crap...etc
its all down to what people like...
some people here don't like breaks dj's, some people don't like trance dj's. some people like to be different and name weird djs as their favs (Magda
)
but come on guys...Tiesto is the worlds most popular dj...not necessarily the best, but he is loved, and as are Coxy, Oakie and Sasha...and the more popular you become the more critics you get...
Man United and Real Madrid are the worlds best supported footy teams, but are universally disliked, by many more people (United more so)...success breeds jealousy, and critisism...
so what if Paul Oakenfold has lost his way...he's not fucking bothered sat at his mansion counting his remix money
(and he can't always have been a 'hasbeen', joe
- thats a contradiction) ...he was one of the reasons why people became dj's and why people got into dance music in the 1990's...you may not like him, but he was and still is an influential dj...
Sasha has been at the forefront of dance music for 15 years...and i expect him to remain there for the next 15...
Tiesto is taking trance to the masses...it may be cheese half the time, but what he is doing is still spreading the dance music message...ok so what if he's sold out...i don't think he's that bothered...
we had this same arguement on the last forums...and i still stand by the fact that Tiesto isn't complaining, and although he was djing at the olympics, he was deemed big enough to do the job...
keep bashing away...but you don't see any successful deejays posting on internet forums - they're all out doing what they enjoy...did any of you get paid £30,000 to dj on NYE a few years ago?
