also the problem here is, it seems you have no clue about any artist and only ask question after question here

its more like an interview.

and secondly very few people think the whole thing through like you wish here

*sigh*

i understand your question. i'm not daft. you're not understanding what i'm saying about what kind of answers you're going to receive.

which is basically "no one is going to agree, everyone is going to have a different version of the story or history of music and who or what was the best or most influential or first to the scene of the crime, and we're all going to end up in one giant 300 man pissing contest."

I've been very specific about what I'm looking for I think. Can you clarify what it is you don't understand?

yea...clarify

I think this clarification can go for at least another 3 pages. With the Benny Hill theme song in the background

but seriously,

As for a common opinion, if u were to ask all the "techno heads" of the most influential dj in the history of techno (not influential to themselves), my guess the most common answer would be Jeff Mills.

If u wanna know why? well... Google is free

i sure wouldn't say jeff mills is the most influential dj. there's plenty more i'd say before him, but he'd definitely be in the list.

it really all depends on how far back you want to go. every era had its king.

I believe it would be the common answer

as well as Hawtin

People that are deeper into techno and its roots will give diff. answers, age plays a difference. Ask the detroit cats that are 40 and over and they'll give u totally diff answers
