That IS talent. Not everybody can pull that off. Yes a good amount of it is luck...but just because you don't care for someone's creations doesn't mean they're garbage. Anybody can cook, too, but that doesn't make them a celebrity chef.

Anybody can learn an instrument. Doesn't make them a musician.

HOLY FUCK THIS.

Nobody here truly knows how hard these DJ's work and the amount of time they put into their craft.

If you listen to all of Avicii's stuff you will see he IS a CLEAR step above the rest.

I laugh at all the guys on here that say being an actor is so easy or being a dj is so easy it's just luck blah blah blah. Obviously luck plays a role but talent is talent and these DJ's traveling working 18 hours each day perfecting their art is much more than luck.

not a chance, not even compared to other electonica/techno ive heard. Its extremely simplistic, which is fine, and it has its place... but it strikes me as 'pop' techno for simple minds to zone out and dance too.

There's good and there's mainstream.

Avicii is the "Spice Girls" of the rave scene. The "Boyzone" of techno. The "Britney Spears" of House.

In short - Oakenfold he ain't.

You have to realize what you are saying is only your opinion.

People involved in this type of music would hugely disagree.....they see it as so much more and I see where they are coming from.

I find nothing about it simplistic.

Yes anyone can make sounds on a computer but if you look at some of the best techno songs like

Levels - Avicii
Rockin - Moe Aly
Crunk - Showtek

To me these sound incredible and complex. Nothing simple about them.

U know the difference between DJ and producer? If not google it. Avicii is a producer. Huge difference.

Ah. Exactly what I felt listening to this. Ive heard some extremely deep and engaging electronica/techno/whatever the fuck, and this aint it. Hell, the guy is quoted above as saying hes not a musician. Which makes me lol at the fanboys crying about the people that arent outting him on a pedestal.

It's a talent, that's true, but I won't call it a job, since he's prob passionate about DJing. There are plenty of talented musicians/DJs that don't get paid at all. Is that a reason for them to quit? No, because they love it. These things are way different with a normal job, even when you're loaded.

It's exactly my opinion, yes. And I do find certain electronic music deep and complex. So far, from what I've heard, his is NOT one. No one is saying that it's not a learned skill, it is. But it =/= musicianship.

Sounds more like a sampler , must payout Millions in royalty fees to the artist he samples from

[The True Adonis]

All I want to do is dance and prance around.  I want to put this on as loud as possible and prance for hours.  I could prance in front of the hottest males all day long with these songs.  Dancing and Prancing, Dancing and Prancing.

[The True Adonis]

I am going to prance around town listening to Avicci.  Hopefully Europeans will join me in prancing around.  Dancing and Prancing.

yah this amici shouldnt be labeled as dj, hes more like justing bieber, the music is so shit its about the same.

a dj, my personal understanding, would be carl cox, yeah good idea, someone tell carl cox that amici is the number 1 dj in the world and see what he says.

agreed. you could go a step further and say the Carl is the best dj in the world and not many could argue you.

most people who hate electronic music just havent heard all the types that are out there.

if you hate electronic music take 6 minutes and listen to this track in its entirety dont ffw'd it- you might be tempted in the first 1:30. listen to the words, and what the song is about.

i'd have to say its one of the best deep house tracks ever. it doesnt scream at you. the vocals are smooth. the basslines crazy deep and the message will resonate for everyone.

electronic music is more than screechy annoying sounds that make no sense.
