    Who were some of the best DJs?

    in terms of mixing style and creativity...i've heard some well known current djs like dj tiesto,fatboy slim,jerry bonham....but i'm wondering what djs were good in the late 70's/early 80's...

    I've never heard him live, but I think that Ron Hardy had the greatest energy.
    Many friends in New York told me that Walter Gibbons was the best by far
    Francois K is probably the most open minded and creative
    Harvey made a name for himself with his personal style
    Two great italians were Mozart and Baldelli since they created a completely new movement with teir musical research

    Well, Larry Levan is certainly up there with the greats. But, to me, Hardy and Viteritti were just a tad better as they could mix more easily between tempo's and genres. But, these three dj's have in common a very broad music taste and that I like!!!

    So, Larry Levan the dj comes third as far as I'm concerned.

    On the other hand, Levan was the greatest remixer of all time.

    Of the current dj's I like Theo Parrish.
