My list is likely to be far too similar to many others, but what the hell. I'm leaving off punk bands who influenced electronica, so no Suicide or Screamers (otherwise that would be mostly my whole list). Also going to stay away from pioneers before Kraftwerk for the same reasons, otherwise it would be all Delia Derbyshire and Xenakis, et al.
1. Kraftwerk
2. Autechre
3. Cabaret Voltaire
4. The Orb (through Orbus Terrarum)
5. Muslim Gauze
6. Squarepusher
7. Aphex Twin
8. Boards of Canada
9. Christian Vogel
10. Porter Ricks
