To think their deaths are important isn't good. To think when they recorded timeless songs is important and I think that's the topic. I think a moment would be something like, for example, the day Kurt met Dave Grohl or something like that. You're right....hard topic.
 
I wasn't either but it says something that virtually every song on that collection has been covered by some of the most important artists over the last 40/50 years.
 
ok, let's go waaaay back, all the way too...the invention of the stringed guitar! that moment when that man, woman, and caveperson or whatnot figured how to string animal skin to both enRAB of a stick was the most important moment in musical history.
 
That's unlikely. One should give credit to precursors, but to assume that minus the precursor everything after that would never have happened doesn't strike me as at all reasonable.

It's also important to note that he wasn't the only hugely influential bluesman. Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf were contemporaries and also were a big part of the blues that led to rock and pop. Removing Robert Johnson may have had an effect, but surely not to delete from history all the pop and rock that followed.
 
(haha) best moment in music-- the first time someone sang (yeah, weird dreams.. you wouldn't let me wake up..) haha subliminal messages
 
well, I can't think of any MOMENTS in particular....maybe WooRABtock?

But I say the day Kurt died, and the Day Sid Vicious Died, or Joplin, Morrison, Elvis...etc...
sad how it is a death that is baraboozled by the media like that.
but music changed with their deaths.
This is a hard thread to respond to.....
 
why is everyone on here suggesting the most important moment in music history is when a musician died? do you really think that the most important defining moment of music is someones death? i would say something more along the lines of, the most important moment in modern history of music was the summer of love. not only was a **** ton of music released in 1967, but it marked a shift in culture and placed a much larger emphasis on music. beyond just that, there was a amazing amount of new and expirimental things going on in music that were very exciting.
