Depeche Mode is by far the most successful "electronic" band ever. And by far the most influential. Detroit techno scene pioneers all name DM to be their biggest influence.
If it was on this list it must get every single vote.
But I still would not put them on this list because DM has a lot of rock edge and lyrics that are far to deep to be put in the Prodigy territory.
"Depeche Mode is an electronic music band from the town of Basildon, England, founded in 1980. They have been one of the longest-lived and most successful bands to have emerged during the New Wave and New Romantic era, though they are more akin to what was known as the 'Futurist' scene; many of their videos have been heavily rotated on MTV. As of 2006, it is estimated that Depeche Mode has sold over 72 million albums worldwide."
