Who are "The Beatles" of Dance Music ?

[SirReal]

Has anyone mentioned Leftfield - Leftism yet?

Oh SNAP, Good call, that was a great first album also. I think I'm going to dial that up and give it a listen right now.

Alright then, they were clearly taking the piss but:
KLF - White Room

[Fyoog]

Has anyone mentioned Leftfield - Leftism yet?

Think that's going to hark back to the Prodigy issue, Leftism was and still is one of my favourite dance albums but Rhythm and Stealth? Meh, can take it or leave it to be honest.

Moby?

[SirReal]

robtronik, are from the L.A. area of CA by chance? Certainly not the Rob I might've met in Mexico 2000 for a week with dubtribe?

In regards to the topic:
IMO, no band will ever be the Beatles or Rolling Stones of dance music.

Rolling Stones?

You're right it will be a tough task to find a Dance Music act quite as overrated as the Rolling Stones.

[lethal_pizzle]

Moby?

Not particularly because I hate Moby, just that he is ripping off my bald look. Well, him and bald Britney.

[mixmonster5]

Moby would be up there

How about daft punk ?
2many dj's ?
Booka shade
Dubfire
Sasha & Digweed
Jeff Mills
Faithless ?

[Lambox]

Rolling Stones?

You're right it will be a tough task to find a Dance Music act quite as overrated as the Rolling Stones.

Beatles are quite overrated too, imo.

I'm casting my vote for Daft Punk. Only because they are quite universally known (as far as dance groups go), and because of their influence. You'd be hard-pressed to find a producer who isn't influenced by Daft Punk in some way, whether they'd like to admit it or not. Also, their music has stood the "test of time" I suppose. People still remix "Around the World."

you need to do some homework on music history and the beatles career then. very few acts come close to achieving what they have and Rolling Stones is certainly not one of them by a long shot. The stones are all flash no substance, they weren't pioneers and their singer couldn't sing. They are a good band have lots of good songs, but musically they haven't done anything that mind blowing. The fact that Rolling Stones even comes up when talking about The Beatles is a joke, there are so many other bands from that era that make the stones look like shit.

Beach Boys, Pink Floyd, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, Rush to name some of the better known ones. Not to mention all the obscure underground rock bands from that time that also school the stones.
