Everyones entitled to there own opinion of who they believe the most influential artists are, but remember the most influential aren't neccesarily the best.
as much as it pains me to say tiesto is probably one of the most influential the amount of people i see listening to his cheese and then starting to appreciate more and more electronic music is phenomenal.
I also think Derrick May is a huge name that can't be forgotten, he pretty much invented minimal and look at how big its gotten.
BT is another huge one for me, breaking into different genres and whatever, he explored and for me changed EDM forever.
Underworld and Chemical Bros were huge revelations for me. It was there stuff that got me hooked onto EDM for the past 7 years.
But every view is gonna be biased based on what is your favaourite sub genre of EDM. For instance a breaks fan might find that Adam Freeland is a huge influence ... whilst someone more into hardcore would say eddie halliwell.
But then again what about Djs who were always pushing boundaries like Aphex Twin ?
I haven't seen a mention of him, maybe thats cause i skipped half the thread cause its too long but yeah ... what bout ferry corsten, altho many peopole dont appreciate his new stuff cause its a 'betrayal' on trance i've heard but i reckon theres nothing better for getting a new generation of hot bitch partyers. I mean its cheesy but wow when it gets played it gets people going.
