I think I'd rather dance to Pierre Henry's "Psyche Rock" than "Oscillations" - or anything else the Silver Apples put out. It's interesting, from an electronica point of view, but not very funky.
The list is of acts that were influential on Dance music - and, since "Psyche Rock" formed the basis of Fatboy Slim's career, it's more of a mystery why that was left off.
There's rafts of stuff that appeared on the KPM Library label in the late 1960s/early 1970s that should be there too - practically anything by Alan Hawkshaw and his predecessor, Mick Weaver, AKA Wynder K. Frogg, Booker T and the MGs - not to mention loads of Surf music, Northern Soul, Motown etc;
1961 - The Birth of The Beat... oh, actually, that's a different track
1964 - Booker T;
1964 ...any excuse
1967 - best (and first!) cover of Sonny and Cher's original
1967 - The Frogg!
1968 - The inimitable Mr Hawkshaw
1969 - the amazing Mr Mansfield (who also recorded loads of stuff for the KPM libraries)
