No artist has had a longer Wikipedia page than The Chemical Brothers. Good gravy.These two are their debut album and follow-up. They started as the Dust Brothers providing music for the Beastie Boys before venturing on their own for what has been a most fruitful 17 years for a pair of guys that don't even need to sing over their own tracks, but instead get mega-superstars to beg them for a vocal opportunity or a remix.
Metallica's allegedly begged them for a remix, but to no avail. Oasis invited them to DJ, kicked them off the stage and, years later, Liam Gallagher came back begging for a vocal track.The Stone Roses have asked them to work together. The Beatles -- or what remains of them -- sent them a letter claiming they sampled "Tomorrow Never Knows" and had to bring in a musicologist to prove they didn't.
Anyone who is anyone, especially in the British scene, have had their moment of glory with the Brothers and probably most of that island nation have danced absurdly to some festival or outdoor show that they've put on. They make the music the world dances to.
