Default Re: Top 5 GROUPS/ARTISTS, all time

Well.....this changes daily for me, but you can pretty much narrow down all major influences to:

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Black Sabbath
King Crimson
Led Zeppelin

Zeppelin is soooooooo over rated though. They were seriously influenced by all the jazz bands of the 50s and 60s, and frankly, most of those bands never got the credit they deserved. Still, in the "big scheme" of things, Zeppelin should be on that list. Just like Nirvana will be on a list of top 10 most influential bands some 50 years from now, and no one will mention The Melvins or The Pixies.
