I can't help responding to this "what the f*** ?!" list. Aphex Twin's album IS indisputably a classic, but it's NOT a dance album. You can't dance much to the wonderful Massive Attack and DJ Shadow albums either. Influential, those and Public Enemy, but not dance albums! And Nicolette's highly respectable but difficult and publicly-ignored album doesn't deserve to be there. Her debut was better, but even that shouldn't be in the top 25. And Basement Jaxx at the bottom of the list?? Should be in the top 10, IMO! Nice to see LFO's get props, though. Come to think of it, it's just the category name that's wrong. Should be something more vague, like "electronic". How did they come up with this list? Some Muzik staffer's favorites list?

even electronic doesn't fit too well, as I don't consider the Negativland album to be electronic. I don't believe that any samplers or synths were used in it. Probably wrong, but I just thought they spliced...
