Mixmag are running a survey to find the greatest dance act ever? 

 

Who would you suggest?

I'm also enjoying Calvin Harris a lot at the moment. Hasn't been around long enough for an "all time" accolade.

 

Surely fishing?  The boy's mince.

Harris is surely more electro disco pop than dance

Poll added with some of the more obvious suggestions.  Can add more options if required.

Had completely forgotten about Underworld Jager. Scrap Leftfield, Underworld were/are my favourite. Saw them at Creamfields a fews years back with Topcorner, and they were amazing.

Underworld featuring Mr C:

 

No Basshunter or Cascada?

 

Shite poll.

Shite poll.

 

Pretty sure they're both German nae Polish.

Brotherhood of MAn, or Buck's Fizz!

I said I'm enjoying some of his tunes.

 

At no point did I say he should be the best of all time.

 

I have yet to see poll leaders Daft Punk - must get it sorted!

Chemical Brothers for me.

 

Noticed Moby was on the list. Also outstanding live

I know how can the Shamen only be at 18?

Can't really argue with that tbh. I'm surprised Deadmau5 is so high up, but he is a class act to see and even more surprised to see Tiesto not on there. But it's a solid list (shamen aside lol).

Exactly.  Should be top 5 easily.

 

No sign of New Order 

No sign of New Order 

 

Not surprised.

 

That would open up a whole new kettle of fish.

New Order a dance act? Hmm.

 

I prefer my dance music served up by a DJ anyway.
