Most influential Individual in Music Got to be Robert Johnson. Pretty much everything goes back to the blues one way or another, and he has to be the most influential blues musician ever?

Most influential Individual in Music ^^^I pretty much agree that the most influential person or group preceded anyone that we even know. But, in terms of more contemporary influence, say last half of 20th century, and Western influence since this forum has a Western bias, I believe: Velvet Underground had most early influence on rock. Beatles had most early influence on pop. Bessie Smith, Robert Johnson, and Muddy Waters had most early influence on blues; Bessie Smith and Louis Armstrong had most influence on jazz vocalists; and Robert Johson had most early influence on blues rock. Thelonius Monk and John Coltrane had most early influence on instrumental jazz and Miles Davis had most influence on later jazz and jazz fusion. Kraftwerk had most early influence on techno/house. Janis Joplin had most early influence on all female rock artists (probably later female pop, too). Youssou N'Dour had most early influence on world music and introducing non-Western sound to Western music. Hank Williams had most influence on country.
Most influential Individual in Music Hank Williams, Chuck Berry, and Charlie Parker.
Most influential Individual in Music It go with Paul McCartney, cause the way I see it, The Beatles are the most influential group/artist ever, and he was on of the main songwriters to most of their songs, he also sang lead to a lot of them, and unlike Lennon who was always trying to find an excuse to break the band, he was the one who kept them together for the last few years.

Most influential Individual in Music If you're going to put Jelly Roll up there, how about Scott Joplin? He was an extremely influential figure in the shaping of 20th century music and, at least from the sound of his music, a direct influence on Jelly Roll.
Most influential Individual in Music Son House, he played a huge role on Robert Johnson's playing, and by doing so he has played a huge role in all blues musicians.
