... I have never been a huge fan but I can't get enough of Tiesto. I stumbled onto thier stuff on my server (I never get to listen to all 12,000+ albums I have) and I just haven't stopped listening.

Any other favorites I should know about and what's everyones take on Techno?

Don't like it.

I love techno. If you get a chance, listen to DJ Micro's - Tech-Mix Live (Avalon, Boston). It's one of the best dance CD's I have.

Also check these DJ's:
BT
ABT
Oakenfold
Sammy
Baby Anne
Lord's of Acid
Encore
Acosta

And these songs are a must:
Acosta - Follow the Sun
Lords of Acid - Man's Best Friend
Encore - I See Right Through to You
Sammy - The Way
Rockell - Tears (DJ Volume remix)
Modjo - Lady
Da Buzz - Want to be with me
Dallas Allstars - Helium

There are really about 30 or 40 really good tracks but this will keep your interest.

im a big tiesto fan you should check his site for his schedule, cuz he might be coming to ur neck of the woods. he knows how to bring the roof down

Hey look into these DJs also...
Plastic Boy
Rob Searle---his Blue Monday remix is BAD!!!!! Get it if you can, you won't be disappointed...
Moon Project
Ferry Corsten
Paul Van Dyke---song "For an angel" is a classic...

tiesto - "southern sun" (i've only heard a live version, but this is the best damn song ever. trance anthem. never get tired of listening to it.) everything tiesto is good. "nyana" in particular.
armin van buuren
