All of those are fairly weak, but agree, not neccessarily all that canonical.

certainly filter-disco has replaced handbag as the high street dance subgenre of choice

i don't know how to say this in a way that doesn't sound like i'm totally dissing you - believe me, i'm not! - but i'll never ever ever understand the british habit of using neighborhoods to diss music.

Black Dog Productions?

Bola?

air liquide OTM but what canon were they in? bola was never good!

never! i still listen to spanners and bytes often and still love them both. especially spanners.

A thousand times yes to Tracer's Unit Moebius. Nice one, Mr Hand!

That 808 track is dated, but was influential in the UK.

(okay, I haven't heard a lot of the first list, but things that jump out at me - haha stone roses, + I'm wondering how relevant "unfinished sympathy" is (can't decide whether mezzanine was ahead or behind the times))

(underworld/prodigy - relevant to lots of rock bands in the late 90s, right? & I could never ever figure where underworld slotted in to the dance scene, ever)

Ah, Robin, you could be right, but when I want to get a party started it's 'Good Life' and 'Bounce Your Body To The Box' that do it every time, guaranteed.

Is that the official statement

we don't need anything for rock/indie

some sort of vaccine maybe

plenty of syringes in use among artists of all genres

Ryan Adams strikes again.
