Jaar is good but not for first place. DOP is just ridiculous now. They do same shit from year to year. Drunk fatman at stage is not future.

Drunk fatman at stage is not future.

Jaar isn't near the mainstream? Really? Either way, he has delivered some good performances this year. It's definitely great that SD and Mosse made the cut - very much deserved.

Isn't it, though? Their performance has always builded on a drunk fat man on the vocal.

|
| #26 / Wed, 07 Dec 11 14:17 Seems most of Amon's gigs were not tagged as "live", making it tough to actually vote for him
|
| |
|
| #27 / Wed, 07 Dec 11 14:36 Geez, maybe RA should have a introduction explaining what a poll is, it seems unclear for quite a few people on here!
I'm actually quite pleased with the result of this one (in comparison with the top 100 DJs...).

| #32 / Wed, 07 Dec 11 15:35 Quite happy with who is on this list with the exception of John Roberts. I really enjoyed his performance when he came into Chicago. Martin Buttrich killed it when he was at Spy Bar. So did dOP. Many people said as crazy as the performance was many of the people that knew them said they were a bit tame. That says a lot. I already know that Henrik Schwarz's live performances are legendary. Too bad I never had a chance to see him in Chicago. So overall very solid list considering John Robert did not make the cut.

i tried to vote for trentemøller after he blew me away in chicago. i put the event in my journal but for some reason i wasn't able to vote for him. maybe his shows had the same problem as amon's shows (and maybe that's why trentemøller's phenomenal live act is not on this list)

And I agree with the rest who said Amon Tobin should be on that list.
