Ted, Sparks, NV
#1: Bob Dylan #2: Robert Johnson #3: Elvis Pressley #4: The Beatles #5: Jimi Hendrix #6: The Velvet Underground #7: Otis Redding #8: Bob Marley #9: David Bowie #10: Run DMC Review: Dylan has to be number one. I think he is the most covered songwriter ever. Robert Johnson brought the Delta Blues to England which in turn changed the lives of Clapton, Lennon, et al. Presley, of course, kept the blues on the home front and influenced an entire generation. The Beatles made pop profitable. Hendrix tweaked the blues and melded the psychedelic sounds of the 60s. Lou Reed made heroin addiction a stage show and may have sparked the punk scene. Otis, like Johnson, took blues, jazz, and pop to a new level. Marley gave the Third World a political voice. Bowie let the freaks all know they had a champion. and without Run DMC the rap movement might have stayed on the street corners of Philly. |

James, Omaha, NE
#1: Robert Johnson #2: Buddy Holly #3: Chuck Berry #4: Bob Dylan #5: The Beatles #6: The Velvet Underground #7: David Bowie #8: Tom Waits #9: Radiohead #10: U2 Review: Robert Johnson was the iconic, mythical character that immortalized that unique American creation--the blues. People like Buddy and Chuck took that and realized new horizons and sounds. Bob Dylan added the depth of tapping and then lyricising a social consciousness through fusing heartland folk and rock. The Beatles then solidified that concept as a commerical mainstream possibility. After a pinnacle of achievement, The Velvet Underground deconstructs all that we though we had built so beautifully, leading Bowie and others to pick up those pieces and craft new art. Enter Tom Waits, who pulls everything America has offered to the art of music and concocts tapestries of majesty in its honor. Finally, in our modern times, for better or for worse, Radiohead and U2' s contribution to the complexity and gravity of the contemporary pop and rock sound cannot be understated, like 'em or hate 'em. |

#1: Elvis Presley #2: Rolling Stones #3: Bob Dylan #4: James Brown #5: The Kinks #6: Eddie Van halen #7: Kraftwerk #8: The Sex Pistols #9: The Velvet Underground #10: The Beatles Review: First of all, The names whom you have put in "Following influences:" in Beatles, In real none of them was ever influenced by beatles or has ever cited/said anything for beatles, FACT! If you do some research you will find the same, And hairstyle is not influence, otherwise It can be also said Elvis had influenced chuck berry. Beatles low influence is really damn overrated! Elvis has influenced many of the above like The Kinks, The Beatles, Jimi hendrix, Bob dylan, The Whom(only roger daltery), The Byrds etc. Why you have wrote soo much ridiculous for "Elvis impersonators"??? By calling "lounge lizards" and more crap? By 2002 there were over 85k impersonators of him, So edit it. |

#1: Pink Floyd #2: The Beatles #3: Led Zeppelin #4: Bob Dylan #5: The Rolling Stones #6: The Who #7: U2 #8: The Clash #9: Jimi Hendrix exp #10: The Doors Review: Pink floyd, just because they cover all aspects and feelings of life, more so than the beatles. Not the most influential, but definately the most beautiful for me. The beatles and Led Zep. is self explanitory. I thought bob dylan was simply the best solo artist ever. The rolling stones were long lasting classics, though i admire their obsecure stuff. The who was different and unique. Jimi hendrix was the god of guitar and had a great great potential. U2 is still out there and has to be the longest lasting band out there. The Clash were gods of punk. And doors were an influential and great rock band. |

hugo Van Dyke, nelson #1: the beatles #2: the velvet underground #3: robert johnson #4: bob dylan #5: jimi hendrix #6: chuck berry #7: david bowie #8: led zeppelin #9: pink floyd #10: the ramones Review: the beatles because they defined modern pop and were "bigger than jesus" as john lennon said. the velvet underground started grunge style music which they evolved from the music made by artists such as led zeppelin and they influenced some of the greatest artists of the century including david bowie robert johnson simply because without hime the stones would have never got together and as robert plant said "without him we never would have been here" he influenced a whole generation of music bob dylan because of his brilliant songwriting that has been covered by so many other bands and his vocal genious jimi hendrix because he was the one who made the guitar the most important instrument in rock chuck berr because he virtually founded rock and roll, some may argue elvis did but chuck was first david bowie because he influenced the many movements he was ia large amount eg he put the glam in glam rock led zeppelin because they started metal and without them we might not have bands such as nirvana and rage against Pink Floyd because thay were the first ones to put industrial sounds into there music which would later influence kraftwerk and man other electronic bands and because they were the most influential progressive band Ramones simply because along lou reed and the velvet undergorund they started punk |

Stevie, Cary, NC #1: The Beatles #2: Bob Dylan #3: Elvis Presley #4: Chuck Berry #5: James Brown #6: Ray Charles #7: Bob Marley #8: Led Zeppelin #9: Robert Johnson #10: The Velvet Underground Review: Let me get this straight, clearly I see a few people not knowing what the word "influence" means. I see too many metalheads putting too many metal artists on this list. Most of them suck with absolutely no originality, greatness, and clearly no influence. So I made this list grading artists strictly on their influence and impact on music. Screw the rock artists only rule, I'm just putting the top 10 most influential artists of all time. The Beatles: Music could only be described as before and after The Beatles. They changed everything about everything. Followers: Just about everyone that came after them. Bob Dylan: He could have been more influential than the Beatles. Dylan managed to make music more than just entertainment. He made music deep, meaningful, and made it a way to deliver a message. Anyone who puts meaning into their music were influenced by Dylan. Anyone who puts any thought into lyrics were influenced by Dylan. Anyone who wrote about social issues were influenced by Dylan. Anyone who wrote a song that's about SOMETHING were influenced by Dylan. Followers: Neil Young, The Byrds, The Beatles, The Animals, Bruce Springsteen, Grateful Dead, Buffalo Springfield, David Bowie, Van Morrison, The Velvet Underground, Joni Mitchell, The Band, Tom Petty, The Clash, James Taylor, Paul Simon, Rod Stewart, Pink Floud, Johnn Lennon... Elvis Presley: Before anyone did anything, Elvis did everything. The King revolutionized music and entertainment and inspired millions of youngsters to start playing rock 'n' roll. He created the attitude, image, and sound of rock. Followers: Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, T. Rex, David Bowie, any artist wearing tight clothing. Chuck Berry: Though not as famous as Elvis, his influence on music is none less. He created the lyrics and guitar riffs that were so frequently used in rock. The reason why the guitar became a dominate instrument in rock was because of Chuck Berry. So if this guy never existed, Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton would have never soloed on their guitars. Followers: The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, The Kinks, The Who, The Velvet Underground, and any artist that had guitar solos. James Brown: Godfather of funk, not only that but he had influence in soul, R&B, and even hip-hop. He also pushed the limits of what live performances can be. Followers: Earth Wind and Fire, Prince, Michael Jackson, Sly Stone, George Clinton, Parliament/Funkadelic, and every hip-hop artist who sampled from him. Ray Charles: Inventor of R&B, that's all I have to say. Followers: Anyone who sang R&B or soul. Led Zeppelin: By using heavier guitar riffs influenced by the blues and louder volume. They created hard rock and heavy metal, two of the most dominating genres in pop today. Followers: Aerosmith, AC/DC, Van Halen, Queen, Rush, Journey, any hard rock/metal band formed in the 70's. Robert Johnson: If you looked at the roots of all genres of music, they can all be traced back to the blues. Just like Slash of Guns N' Roses (pay attention metalheads) said "rock is just a faster paced version of the blues." Followers: Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, every blues musician + Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and all those blues-based metal bands. The Velvet Underground: They created punk, so anytime you hear a song that's about drugs, sex, or some other awkward subject, they were probably involved. Followers: Nirvana, Roxy Music, New York Dolls, David Bowie, Patti Smith, The Stooges Review: they are awesome band names |

#1: The Beatles #2: Led Zeppelin #3: The Kinks #4: The Who #5: Jimi Hendrix #6: Nirvana #7: The Byrds #8: Black Sabbath #9: Chuck Berry #10: The Rolling Stones Review: The Beatles established the leaderless self contained rock band.

#1: The Beatles #2: Led Zeppelin #3: Black Sabbath #4: Pantera #5: Jimi Hendrix #6: Elvis Presley #7: Eddie Van Halen #8: Stevie Ray Vaughn #9: Metallica #10: Iron Maiden Review: #1 The Beatles...come on, hoe could they not be? #2 Led Zeppelin changed the way I listen to music, so im sure others changed too. #3 Black Sabbath started an entire genre, so every band in that genre started with them. #4 Pantera when I listen to modern day metal, alot of riffs are quite similar to theres #5 Hendrix is the greatest guitarist who ever lived, so after listening to him, how could he not have inspired others? #6 Elvis...'nuff said #7 Van Halen if you havent heard "Eruption" live, you probobly havent gotten a hand job in the back seat of a camaro either #8 Stevie Ray Vaughn every bluegrass performer has something based off of his work #9 Metallica most current metal has something that is based off of them #10 Iron Maiden listen to a song...any song in the metal genre...sound familiar? Iron Maiden has some influence in it. | ||

Greg Bailey, Des Moines, Iowa
#1: KISS #2: Elvis #3: The Beatles #4: Led Zeppelin #5: Jimi Hendrix #6: AC/DC #7: The WHO #8: Van Halen #9: The Rolling Stones #10: Chuck Berry Review: 1.KISS was more influential than people realize! In the 70's, they were pronounced the world's most popular band, They have not only sold a lot of music, but all kinds of merchandise, their guitarist (Ace Frehley), has influenced a lot of the younger guitarists of the 90's thru present day! Gene Simmons helped give rock a demonic yet sexual look with his long tongue.Not to mention the obvious influence they gave on Glam Rock, the 80's wouldn't of been the 80's without these four demonic Knights. In. Satans. Service. 2.Obviously Elvis is kinda what started rock when he shook those hips and got all naughty for the girls in the 50's. 3.The Beatles were to the sixties what Elvis was to the 50's the girls just couldn't get enough. 4. Led Zeppelin was the first band to really break the blues from rock and just create a thing called Hard Rock. 5. Jimi Hendrix helped bring more talent to guitar players of his era and started the whole drugs scene to Rock. 6. AC/DC is an obvious! All kinds of people today wear shirts with their logo, they've become a new fashion thing. And there music is great. 7. The WHO in a way were like the Beatles, they Helped make rock a wild and crazy thing in the 60's with Pete Townsend jumping while playing guitar, and Keith Moon acting High while playing the drums, they were Freaky Naughty! 8. Van Halen has to make the list, They helped bring the whole L.A. Sexual druggy look to hard rock in the 80's, And their guitarist Eddy was sicko good. 9. The Rolling Stones have so many hit songs that they had to of influenced many with Keith Richards and Mick Jagger, who are still to this day very popular. 10. Chuck Berry helped bring more energy to rock in the 60's, How could you possibly not like this guy?! |
