Yeah, I used to not like electronic music because all that I knew in the genre didn't have vocalists. But, I've found bands that have vocalists in them, and I love them.

I'd say I like certain forms of electronic music but hell no to any techno or dub step. HELL NO!

@ Sora: I dunno, you're not exactly listening to the Electronic I am, but Innerpartysystem's been classified as Electroclash, so maybe Peaches or The Faint?

I was into Electronica a lot before I started listening to more rock (coincidentally, or perhaps not, I got into electronica when Frequency came out and rock once I started playing Guitar Hero). One thing I like about a lot of those albums are the transitions between tracks. They do it much more seamlessly than just about anything in rock.
I listened to a bunch of different mixes, but the ones I remember are BT, Juno Reactor, Tiesto, Paul Oakenfold, Dieselboy, Dune, and Dick van Dyke. Kasson Crooker (HMX guy who made a bunch of Frequency/Amplitude remixes and I think is in Freezepop) made a lot of good stuff too.
Lots of electronica has vocals. Most at least have samples.

Well, if you're gonna count St. Vincent as electronic, I might as well mention Devin Townsend as well.
