>>36199231how have you never heard of the velvet underground? is this a troll?
>>36199159>>36199169I never understood how people think this. The only well known bands with significant influence are coldplay and muse.
>>36199231>Never heard of emDo you live under a rock?
>>36199276Just because you can't hear the influence doesn't mean it isn't there.

Imagine Dragons

>>36199343>Captain Beefheart>they
Hampus Grönvall>>36199393If you don't think The Beatles are one of the most influential bands of all time, you're the pleb. Quality is a different question, but their influence cannot be denied.
>>36199416>implying Blur doesn't have 1 good album
black sabbath
>>36199435that's exactly what is being implied, because blur have no good albums at all
>>36199432bands/artists who influenced the beatles plus more are objectively more influential.
Elvis Presley, duh.
>>36199231
>>36199435theyve got that woohoo song andits not even that good
>>36199453>being this deluded>2013How much of Blur's output have you even listened to?
1. louis armstrong2. beethoven3. bob dylan
>>36199473>le epick post xD
>>36199483don't even try to antagonize me when you listen to britpop in this decade
>>36199464that's not how it works though
>>36199312>Pere UbuI like them but in what world were they even remotely close to being one of the most influential bands ever?
>>36199512>implying blur's one good album is britpop>implying I listen to britpopHave you even heard 13?
>>36199541 Pere Ubu were the most original and important of the new wave bands. They were to the new wave what Jefferson Airplane had been to San Francisco acid rock and Pink Floyd to British psychedelic music. The eccentric personality of David Thomas dominates their career from beginning to end, although the group has also featured other musicians of great stature.
>>36199488seriously though. this is the right answer. dubs never lie
>>36199271>>36199287>>36199297>>361993331- I looked at Wikipedia for "Deakin"2- Sorry music has never been a big interest of mine,I don't understand why I'm supposed to know an artist who is never played on the radio and no one I know has ever mentioned the name.This is why I'm here, to know some historically significant artists.
>>361996050/10
Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan
>>36199207This
>ctrl+f>miles>coltrane>mozart>stockhausen>gershwinand you guys drop names like buddy holly, bruce springsteen and pere ubu?
>>36199707>Gershwin>Not Buddy Holly
Billy Strayhorn and Jobim are both monumental composers. That's just my jazz perspective though.

easily bob dylan
>>36199270>Not Chuck Berry, who is Keith Richard's idol and main influence, along with basically every other rock musician
>>36200065which guy there's like fifty guys
>>36199605>music>historally significant
>>36200119he just means african drums i assume. which is true. african drums changed everything.
>>36199488hard to argue with thisbut there's no real way to answer this question factually. like, Django Reinhardt was responsible for the guitar becoming a lead instrument instead of part of the rhythm section, which in turn led to damn near every band on this list, but if you asked all the guitarists in all these bands if they learned guitar because of him or aspired to sound like him, they'd probably universally say they never heard of him, or at least not until after they had decided on/learned the guitar.tl;dr, there's direct influence and there's the butterfly effect. which is more influential? what time span is your cut off?
>>36200189I'm guessing there are no albums by Quintette du Hot Club de France but is there a particular collection you could recommend? Even just to get a historical context of what he contributed to music.
Louis Armstrong. Without him, the concept of an American "frontman" wouldn't likely exist.
Assuming you're talking about Post-1950s here, so just roll with itDiscussing the short term effects, the esoteric answer would be the Velvet Underground as the band who influenced the most face-value qualities of rock musicIf you're talking about the rock musician who most influenced composition, it's ZappaIf you're talking about the artist who influenced western culture, it's the beatles, but that DOES NOT MAKE THEM GOOD MUSICIANSIf you're talking about who was the most original, it's the Residents
