Pleasing. I've not been listening to that much trance in the past year or so but I went along to see Armin in Ibiza this summer and he was excellent. Just goes to show you can be popular without selling your soul ala Tiesto and Guetta.
Found that strange as well. Personally, I'd have Angello above either of the other two and SHM as whole.
Mine would probably be Mark Knight, John Dahlback, Deniz Koyu, Steve Angello and Hardwell. Forgot to vote this year!
