Influential Music Acts

[tofubot]

when i pop them on, i always say to myself "why don't i listen to this more?"

i'm not sure anyone here knows about nash the slash but you and i.

LOL what a pity! they could have been rush instead of rush! imagine everyone screaming for a full album dlc of surveillance.

of course, they were just way too weird for american audiences. rush sounds like maroon 5 in comparison.

Venom is one of the most influential bands ever, so I put them forth in this thread.

i'll throw a few out there while my crappy microwave dinner cooks...

ornette coleman: saxophone will never be the same.

john fahey: acoustic guitar will never be the same.

steve reich: simplicity will never be the same.

Also, I want to throw Earth out there. They really changed the face of music, though not many people know it, unfortunately.

if more people knew that cobain played with them we'd surely never hear the end of it, though.

DAMMIT! I have to reluctantly agree with you. As much as venom is absolutely one of the worst bands ever, they were the first extreme metal band ever, and inspired a lot of really good bands. Almost every one of those bands is better than Venom.

God Venom sucks.

I'm still ticked they pulled out of the SunnO))) show they were supposed to be playing at later this week in Philly.

I'm supprised no one mentioned The Beatles. Influenced everything that came after them, from Rap to Punk to Metal to New Wave to Alternative to Boy Bands to those so-called "Fake Wikipedia genres", they have to be the most influentail, directly or inderectly, band of all time.


But mabye stating their influence is overdone, thus why I'm the first.

yeah, i think a lot of us are trying to call attention to acts that you don't see on every list...
but yes, of course the beatles are insanely influential.
