I was hoping TA could help with this, perhaps with a giant vote or something if this thread does end up actually taking off. In no particular order I can list:
Names in Italics are ones I have added from other posts...
Prodigy
Kraftwerk
Daft Punk
Sasha & Digweed Oakenfold Depeche Mode Faithless Brian Eno BT Aphex Twin
...off the top of my head. I've only been an EDM listener since the late nineties so I can't list anything before that. I'm sure I'll get a flood of posts listing artists before my time and telling me I'm a jackass, but that's the whole idea.
I would love to hear some old school EDM freaks input on this...

Movers and shakers, those that had incredible mass appeal (not to mention all time classic tracks to their name) and those consistently listed as inspirations are all qualities equating to 'most influential':
Oakenfold
Larry Levan
Fatboy Slim
Frankie Knuckles
Faithless
PVD
Moby
Kevin Saunderson
Derrick May
I'll get back to this list again later!
Edit and later again as well...
