tunenut,

I think the chart is very Euro-centric, and many important US artists are missing (USA, Sly & The Family Stone, etc). Some artists which were big on the punk-post-punk scene (like Metal Urbain, Marie et les GarÃ§ons, etc) many will not ring a bell in other countries. So in a way it's similar to the famous New Yorker poster, where the world revolves around NY.

I just don't know about Depeche Mode, I think while some of their remixes were on the experimental side (most notably the Enjoy the Silence EP), all in all DM used electronic influences to build very melodic pop, with a strong human interest focus. While I love most of their stuff, and consider them to be one of the greatest pop bands in activity, I am not sure they fit in there.

Anyway, you're right, the Beach Boys were a major influence on them, and that leads to the Flaming Lips :)

Best

Eric
