Composer wise, the absolute first on my list is Yuzo Koshiro, who is known for the Streets Of Rage series and other Sega Genesis games such as Revenge Of Shinobi. Tommy Tallarico and Nobuo Uematsu are also highly noteable.
As for bands *takes deep breath* (in no particular order):
Prodigy
The Crystal Method
Chemical Brothers
Massive Attack
Orbital
Swollen Members
Leftfield
Rob (aka. White) Zombie
KMFDM (aka. MDFMK)
Darude
Paul Oakenfold
Gigi D'agostino
Norman Bass
Mauro Picotto
Armando
Lil' Louis
Dj Pierre
Tiesto
Meat Katie
And that's to name a few. I'll leave it at that. If forced to choose just one, I'd say
Prodigy or Mauro Picotto.
