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...
isoterra
jean michel jarre would certainly be top 3
Rebel Brown
Depeche Mode
JakeC
Jean Michel Jarre
Kraftwerk
Raymond Scott even though his stuff was less musical and more experimental.

New Order.
Sasha & Digweed.
Underworld (maybe).
Depeche Mode.
Tony Wilson (not an artist, but without whom we would be without many).
Mike Oldfield.
Brian Eno.
William Orbit.

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...
