Hmmm, no Daft Punk mentioned? Or my personal favorite, Underworld? (Well, I don’t mind Underworld not being mentioned but Daft Punk is pretty big, isn’t it?) Well, nice collection anyways, great history lesson :D

Yep, I admit there are some omissions, but we could have gone on forever. Some perhaps that should have been included: Radiohead for Kid A, LCD Soundsystem etc etc...
