Connecticut is a state that's seen plenty of major musical names born within its borders, but we're giving Moby our vote for being the biggest of them purely because of his influence within his own genre. By the mid-1990s, techno was considered to be a dead genre which nobody had any interest in. Moby's iconic 1999 album 'Play' changed all of that, softening the sound and making it commercially viable once more. When he released it, Moby intended for it to be his last album. Instead, it was the launching pad to superstardom.
In the years that followed - partially thanks to a spat with Eminem - he became as famous for his interest in spirituality and transcendental meditation as he did for his music, as well as his commitment to animal rights causes and veganism. He's released eleven entire albums since his intended 1999 retirement, and may yet have more to show us.
