**Freak83** · 01-15-2004, 08:40 PM

Elvis Presley and possibly even ABBA. They even got a stageplay just for them.

XsmurfX · 01-18-2004, 07:28 PM

hrmm.. top influential rock artists.. hrmm.. i would say definately metallica would be number one.. you know how many die hard metallica fans there are out there?? it's kinda scary.. but in a good kinda way.. -_-''' ....uhm.. i can't think of any that wern't mentioned allready.. definately nirvana and definately ac dc ... i know this isn't exactly "rock" but, if were were counting all genres , definately the ramones, and definately the sex pistols..

Laharl · 01-19-2004, 01:18 AM

Angus Young is one of the most identifiable musicians in all of rock for more than just the goofy clothes. Songs like "Thunderstruck" don't come around very often.

As for groups, then yeah, Metallica comes to mind, although they didn't really do anything that any other band at the time wasn't aiming for. They were just good at it. I'd say Van Halen set more of a milestone than did Metallica.

If you're talking about heavy rock, then there isn't a single band more influential than Black Sabbath, period. A lot of influential bands in hard rock credit them as their inspiration to get started.

Anonymous · 01-19-2004, 07:57 AM

yeah but it's not the best song or whatever, it's the most influential

CapedCadaver · 01-20-2004, 06:04 PM

well, Ozzy is my choice.

OzzFest

Black Sabbath

Reunion Tour

Bookoos of albums

The Osbournes series

Randy Rhoads Tribute

Crazy Train / Pat Boone

need i list more?

Scarlette · 01-20-2004, 07:03 PM

The only band I like on that list is Beastie boys...

Kiss are devil worshippers,
they need to die.

Van Halen changed the face of hard rock with one song: Eruption. You can't deny it.

Besides, that wasn't my point. I was giving an example.

jewpinthethird · 01-20-2004, 10:27 PM

JOURENY!!!!!

TheChuck0 · 01-21-2004, 05:44 PM

you all forgot RUSH for metal, they all thought they was the devil back then. and STYX. Berlin's another good one, Red Hot Chili Peppers had to contribute something. Aerosmith introduced that crazy fusion of rap and rock. (Walk This Way) Steve Miller Band for new age. Twisted Sister, and cross dressing.

ralphiej · 01-22-2004, 07:06 PM

you have to be kidding me! cross dressing and rock and roll have been together since the early seventies. ever heard of the new york dolls? T rex? david bowie??? twisted sister was just a pathetic attempt to bring that all back.

here are my pick for ten most influential artists:
(if you want to contend them im ready to argue)
1. the beatles
2. the rolling stones
3. the velvet underground
4. led zeppelin
5. the ramones
6. nirvana
7. bob dylan
8. elvis
9. chuck berry
10. robert johnson

chillywilly · 01-25-2004, 05:04 PM

that looks about right. replace chuck berry with jimi hendrix, and there you go
