Strange to write an article like this without mentioning the SID chip (though I suppose SID chip-inspired music is more of an underground phenomenon, with less influence on popular culture.)

Especially to omit things like the several appropriations of SID tunes by popular musicians; Kernkraft 400 by Zombie Nation might be the most successful example, but there were a few scandals around pop artists sampling tunes from the demo scene, too, as I recall.

If you count straight up plagiarism as less influence, certainly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timbaland_plagiarism_controver...

C-64, right? I loved playing with the 64's sound back in the college lab.
