Squeeze my lemon, til the juice runs down my leg.

uhm, how can you NOT answer The Beatles? I don't even know what to say except for WOW. if there has been any group in the history of music that has managed to change/develop/pioneer as much as they did, it has been The Beatles hands down.

Well M.J. I couldnt consider a band, but very influential in the creation of pop as we know it.

There's many influential artist and bands...here are a few I find that stick out.

The Pixies, a rock band that influenced the grundge era...

The Smiths of the 80's era has some of the most memorable rifts and synths. Morrissey and Marr, a great combination of musical talent.

the punk movement of "the Ramones" from the CBGB roots, but I would even say The Stooges were showin punk alongside the MC5 of the 70's and 60's.

Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, The Doors, Led Zepplin...the list goes on and on.

But we can go even before that, from LedBelly and Robert Johnson and the other early workings of blues.

For most influential I'd have to go with The Beatles or Elvis.

Don't forget Kraftwerk, bitches.

phish.
-best concerts ever... from "shakedown street" in the parking lots, to spaced out black hole and 70's funk jams, to Paul Languedoc's killer light shows and there is no comparison at this point in time. their studio CDs are slacking and do them no justice to the live experience!

grateful dead
-my second place... again the live shows they put on were just completely amazing. my favourite album by them is "American Beauty"

You're still posting about U2?

Posted by Floorfiller on May-09-2004 08:02:

i must admit...U2 is definitely my favorite band...

Dude, music wouldn't be ANYWHERE if it weren't for Motown, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis, and all of those other turkeys who broke through and changed the way people loved the music.

Posted by trewqy on May-09-2004 09:07:

Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Radiohead, Oasis, Metallica, U2, THE POHLICE!

In that order

CASE CLOSED!

As if U2 even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as the Beatles For me personally, I love Queen, and I think Kraftwerk should get a mention too, as do New Order. And in more recent times I would go with Radiohead.

Posted by Pio on May-09-2004 16:53:

My favorites are The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Joy Division, New Order and from contemporary times Sigur Ros and Radiohead.

Personally I think this is all classical music, a pretty obsolete medium of art expression for the 21st century.

Kraftwerk I would put in another category, because then one would have to include Underworld, Daft Punk, Massive Attack and so many other edm bands that are much more musically innovative than actual rock in all of its branches.
