As the subject says... (took this idea from another forum)

Here's mine:

Aphex Twin
Banco De Gaia
Chemical Brothers
Daft Punk
Etnica
Future Sound of London
Global Communication
Hybrid

N.R.G.
Orbital
Prodigy
Quinoline Yellow
Röyksopp
Squarepusher
Transglobal Undeground
Utah Saints
Vangelis
Way Out West
X?
Yellow Magic Orchestra
Z?

I tried to keep my list electronic, but that's no rule. For some of the letters I had to really stretch it and others seemed to just have too many good artists associated with them.

Well this was hard...

A-ha (Aphex Twin close second... )
Boards of Canada
Chemical Brothers (first album only)
Depeche Mode
Empirion
Front Line Assembly
Global Communication
Hybrid
Instrumental (can't really think of anyone else - that is, I have no other artists starting with "i" in iTunes. )
Juno Reactor (I guess. Only other candidate is Jaga Jazzist)
KLF
Leftfield
Massive Attack
New Order
Orbital
Prodigy (first two albums, Pet Shop Boys and Primal Scream in hard pursuit)
¿Qué? I have no idea. Queen, I guess, although I don't like them.

Schnauss, Ulrich
Tenacious D
Ugress

I would have thought that Orbital would be taken as given .
Also to be honest, it was the discovering of the Ozrics that took me away from being a rock and metal head and led down the road of what I listen to now. So in terms of pure influence they would be much more important to me, 'coz without them there would be at least a lot less of the electronica and mellowness that inhabits my cd collection than there is

This'll probably change - just a brain dump at the moment...
