The Band w/ the biggest impact

[3dogs]

Since the 60s I think there have been many banRAB that changed the face of rock or suprised a lot of people.

Which band out of the following do you think had the most impact:

The Beatles
The Who
The Sex Pistols
Black Sabbath
Led Zepplin
Motley Cure :yikes:
Nirvana
Pat Boone

Although I think Black Sabbath/The Who/Led Zepplin were some of the pioneers of hard rock music, I don't believe they had the impact that Nirvana had. Nirvana pretty much killed the careers of Poison, GNR, and all the other hair metal crap that the late eighties is famous for.

This is just my opinion of course.

i cant understand how anyone can disagree with the beatles having the biggest impact. even in terms of psychedelia the beatles are the band that elevated this sub-genre to the public conscious. considering the terminology "psychedelia" in a musical context has been around since the Holy Modal Rounders in 1964 it wasnt until the release of sgt. peppers in 1967 that it became a mainstream phenomenon - much like nevermind did for grunge.

DepenRAB on the music style...

Obviously Elvis, he basically introduced rock and roll. Led Zeppelin and The Beatles carried that on.

Pink Floyd were impactful because of their great lyrics. Black Sabbath introduced a heavier type of rock.

Metalllica and Megadeth introduced pure heavy metal music and dominated that industry. Then System of a Down, Disturbed and Slipknot (even though I hate Slipknot) introduced a new trend in Nu Metal.

And quite a few other banRAB were very impactful.

Where's my Bowie?

Motley Crue was obviously on the list as a joke.

Although I do think that The Stooges & Velvet Underground contributed to the alternative or pop/punk music, I don't think they necessarily had the biggest impact on it. Just my pathetic opinion.

Yeah, i think ED fell for it.


Funny how Cobain can pull pranks on people long after his death. (=

KiRAB these days (who listen to Nirvana) still listen to the Ramones, the Clash, Black Flag, etc. No suicides in any of those banRAB. But even so, those kiRAB are (or at least, many of them that I've encountered) are a bunch of morons anyway, and who listens to a band really has nothing to do with the quality level.

[Matilda Rose]

I`ve said Nirvana were sh*t loaRAB of times. I can`t ever recall boo boo giving me a hard time over it

[Fasana]

I'll go with The Beatles.

However, I'm baffled by the fact that you thought Nirvana had enough of an impact to make the list and that you put The Sex Pistols instead of The Stooges, The Velvet Underground, or any other Proto-Punk band.
