Mixmag greatest dance acts

[joethelion]

yea... the majority of those artists "make sense" in the top 20 (although, Pendulum, WTF) ... but I definitely wouldn't put them in that order

and it is nice to see that Depeche Mode are there, especially considering who generally reads Mixmag... and the fact I wouldn't necessarily call them "a dance act" ... more of an "electronically based band that is very smart about selecting who remixes their material" (unlike their contemporaries)

at least Skrillex isn't on that list.

It is surprising that Plastikman is so high - but that's totally got to be due to his recent tour, which got a lot of attention

[edit]
and for some reason - I thought that "Above & Beyond" wasn't a group, but the name of a series of mix cd's??? Maybe I'm just losing touch... or they play cheesy trance?

but all in all - not bad, you know

[edit 2]
you know... UW would've probably had a better rating had they done a recent, extensive tour (with loads of nifty visuals and a kooky stage set up) - like the Chems or Plastikman

I mean - Prodigy fans are insane - so I'm not surprised that they won...

...I hate to be judgey about how people dance (and look), but come on... it's clearly the middle of the afternoon... and apparently it was shot between 2007-2008... and they're dancing like that to "Everybody in the Place"
