[OT] God of Electronic Music.
God Fathers
------------------------
Steven Reich
The Residents
Jean Michel Jarre
Peter Gabriel
Brian Eno

Not that I necessarily care for their stuff but I think of them as some of the true Pioneers.
Gods for their technical ability
-----------------
Yanev Shulman
Simon Posford
Ott
Infected Mushroom
Fila Brazillia
And Bernie Worrell is just a sick keyboard player.

so which one?
i'm seeing some really good examples here and some really fucking bad ones
ministry? are you serious? get the fuck out of here.
trent reznor? yeah maybe if you were still in middle school in the late 90's.
now Pink Floyd def. a huge influence on prog rock, electronic rock, they are GODS.
Richard D is about the last influential electronic musician to be honest. no one else has brought something fresh and new to the table since him. so i wouldn't say he is the most or even in teh same league as others, i'd say he's the last so far.
in order to truly end or even begin such a debate a series of objective rules must be presented and followed.
something like "the most influentiel electronic musician must have a wide influence on a very broad group of musicians, genres, by numbers and popularity"
they cant just be the firsts'.
someone like Throbbign Gristle influenced the godfathers of electronic music such as Cevin Key (skinny puppy). Skinny PUppy's influence reaches farther than throbbing gristle does. see? there must be some kind of ground rule for this
or else everyone will just run in circles.
