I would petition or make a sensible comment but that would mean that I would have to listen to the electronic artists. I do like Tobin, Autechre, Shadow, but I forget Aphex, Underworld, Orb, Oval, Monolake. I am not sure why I could never get into electronic music. With this magnanimous comment, do you? :-)
I wonder if emoticons will ever go out of style.
Interesting list. Would this still look the same now for you? For me I'd say:
The Velvet Underground: LCD Soundsystem (though Hawtin fits too)
Robert Wyatt: Burial
Faust: Ricardo Villalobos
Pere Ubu: Daft Punk
Red Krayola: ? (Not sure I agree with Tobin)
Frank Zappa: The KLF
My Bloody Valentine: M83
Captain Beefheart: Amon Tobin
The Doors: The Prodigy
Bob Dylan: Kanye West (Hate away people)
Chuck Berry: Kraftwerk
Tim Buckey: Spring Heel Jack
Pink Floyd: Simon Posford (Hallucinogen/Shpongle)
The Beatles: Basement Jaxx
Jimi Hendrix: Simon Berry (Art of Trance/Union Jack)
And for kicks a few more:
Joy Division: ...New Order
Beach Boys: Animal Collective
King Crimson: Autechre
Radiohead: Portishead
Bullet For My Valentine: Skrillex
