Also you could do 'most underrated artists' - there are plenty from Detroit, but three general ones come to mind:
(1) Propaganda - as good as German compatriots Kraftwerk and just maybe even better (2) Cerrone - big fave of mine now (Supernature is one of my all-time favourite disco tracks), oddly enough never raised when the French house/neo-disco explosion of the mid-90s is discussed. (3) Madonna "What most reactions to Madonna share is an automatic dismissal of her music as irrelevant" - Susan McClary.
