I would have figured I Ran would have been higher.

Does Depeche Mode not fit the criteria? That is the only way to explain how they are not the entire top 10. Where is The Cure? I would count them as electro pop as well.

I can get behind half the songs on that list, but this man has had so much influence on electronic music, how not one of these songs made the list is beyond me.

This was the top 10 I didn't bother writing down the full 40 because I was watching a James Bond movie that was on TV at the same time
