10 Most Influential Electronic Rock Artists

10. Chvrches

If the 2010's are any indication, the future of rock and roll seems to be with adding in some electronics into your work. Though there are people like Imagine Dragons who claim to be rock and roll with their billion and one sound effects in their songs, the real craftsmen in the genre are the ones that really know what to do when you have the computer at your disposal. Just because it's the future of rock though doesn't mean you can't pull from the past when you want to.

Over the past few years, Chvrches have been the one band pushing the '80s pastiche sound forward, starting all the way back in 2013 on the Bones of What You Believe. Across their past three albums, the ethereal voice of Lauren Mayberry is exactly the kind of spine tingling sound that would have made for some of the greatest hits of the '80s had they gotten the chance to shine back then.

With the rest of the rock scene not too far behind in adopting some new '80s retro vibes, Chvrches are actually starting to innovate beyond their competition, with Screen Violence getting even more expansive and verging on shoegaze territory a lot of the time. As they work their way into the 2020's, these are the kind of musicians who will be leading us into the future.
