Who are the best electronic acts of all time?

#1 Post by LittleBummerBoy »

PSB would obviously be up there (well, No.2 actually, after Kraftwerk) but here's ten of the rest of the best electronic-based outfits. Which one reigns supreme?

Chris Heath: Why you're surfing?
Chris Lowe: Coz we can!
Neil Tennant: Exactly. :D

I voted for New Order, although they're far away from being a pure electronic act.

Hmm...I certainly don't agree with all your choices, but among those listed I'd have to say Erasure.

Yes, it's a shame The Smiths weren't electronic, then you could have voted for them. :roll:

Well yeah...but since they weren't, you could have course have included such important artists as Boytronic, Fancy or Bobby Orlando.

Kraftwerk are shite. That tour de france bullshit is dreadful. Sorry, don't like them at all. How come Sparks aren't there? I thought they would qualify.

My vote goes to O.M.D.
