Never ever trust any polls. Trust me! I am yet to see one with any credibility and I was actualy witness to one that wanted to reschuffle the list to put someone 'big' on top when the outcome pointed to an underground Detroit DJ as number one (the rock editor wanted and expected Fatboy Slim, and had never heard of this DJ). One UK based mag here did a 'poll' of most powerful people in the Australian music industry and all its big advertisers were given high listings! It was embarassing since key movers and shakers were left out.
I always say you never see Mike Banks listed in polls of most influential players but in terms of business, culture and music his influence is greater than any of these flossy MFs, right? ---------- >From: "Alexandres Lugo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [313] Regarding Business >Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2002 6:52 AM > > So is this list unfortunately....;) > > "i'm quite certain this poll is simply open to anyone who wishes to vote." > > obviously there are flaws, but what otehr gauge could you possibly use to > judge what djs have the highest profile 'overall' > > On Wed, 6 Mar 2002, keleigh casper wrote: > >> You'd think a 'journalist' would understand the bias associated with such > a >> poll.
