U2 kind of skirts the genre as well.  The problem with British music is less about the electronica/synth and more about the pop.  Pop music as we all know, is the enemy.

..."One of these things is not like the other"...

No idea how you fit Smashing Pumpkins in with these other groups. They are not British or Electronic or 70-80's. If you are gonna clump them in with Brit groups, they should be sitting around Radiohead, Muse and Blur. Now you have some great 90's - 2000's music. That List of 70's-80's Brit Groups is also sorely lacking Queen and Duran Duran. ;)

I do listen a bit to Tears for Fears, Depeche mode, and New Order. Got some of their vinyl, but I think listening to 80's Brit Electronica nonstop would kill me. That kinda of music is like cinnamon, you gotta mix it in with other stuff or it is vomit inducing.  ;D

Guilty as charged on Duran Duran. I've got several if not most of their albums so I don't know what I was thinking. Never was a queen fan but I DO admit I screwed up by also not mentioning Bowie :)

And when I wrote the original post I said *MAINLY* British but not all of them, so I stand by my inclusion of SP in that list. SP is considered alternative rock, and besides, they have gone on record as saying they've been HEAVILY influenced by some of the Brit bands on that list, namely DM and NO. As for Radiohead and Blur, I have a couple Radiohead albums and they're....OK.  Nothing particularly special but they're not bad. Never got into Blur.

Anyway rock music is great. But if you guys haven't gotten into trance music you're missing out:

Bowie is a Legend.  :cheers: His music was awesome going back to the 60's. At this rate, you might as well toss in the Beatles on that list as well.  :D

Yeah, the pumpkins were an eclectic style band, they also drew equally from Black Sabbath, ELO and Jimi Hendrix. I bet you appreciate NO having Corgan in the song "Turn My Way".

You have anything from Kid A Era? I always thought trance ppl like yourself really liked the Kid A era music. That music ended up being remixed a million times.
