Classic electronic music to me would be the stuff done by these guys.

i was gonna say that i always understood "classical electronic music" to mean that technique/style as well

well, if everyone is just going to list their favorite synth records/bands.....

Liasons Dangerouses-i've only seen their one self titled record referenced by one other person on KVR...doesn't anyone know this?

Der Plan-a few great tunes, also some solo stuff by their main synth guy, Pyrolator

Fred Vom Jupiter-Die Dorus und die Marinas
best German synth pop song ever

and pretty much most Kraftwerk....

The 'Super Mario World' Theme...

Ok, serious:
Most of my favorites were already posted,
but I would add Raymond Scott's
'Soothing Sounds For Baby' series.
Strangely naive, but definitely classic.

And although it isn't really electronic music,
I'd mention Can for structural aspects.

I also love 70's stuff: Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Rother; In fact Neu! is my favourite band ever (call it electronic or not). But there's more great stuff from the 80's and the 90's, like the collaboration of David Sylvian & Olger Czukay, Angelo Badalamenti, some (and I mean some) stuff of Phillip Glass, etc.

[Lazarus Machine]

[in random order; and not everyone in this list might be popularly regarded as an 'electronic artist']

orbital, prodigy, massive attack, hybrid, daft punk, basement jaxx, paul oakenfold, paul van dyke, david bowie, faithless, jm jarre, eno, chemical brothers, kraftwerk, vangelis [selected stuff] fatboy slim, phats & small, portishead, jamiroquai and kitaro.

thanks.
