THe trouble with solo artists is that it's tough to put them together in a group like this...but I tried a little by making some of them 'frontmen.' But I suppose I could toss in an extra category there for people who should be writing that band's songs...as long as it's not Diane Warren.

Was looking for a way to get some techno/industrial artists in there, like Oakenfold, Orbital, Propellerheads, Digweed...

Nice job getting Sascha Konietzko in there...I didn't know where to put him, really...but KMFDM is too good to pass up.
