Can someone define what "good" means? I agree that a DJ should play (and be allowed to play) ANYTHING that they think works in the context of a mix, but I don't see any point in playing crap just to get a reaction. Isn't it more of a challenge to play something off the wall and keep people ON the dance floor?
