Most influential Individual in Music

this could go on for a while, causing problems...As there is no one idividual musican/artist that be classed as most inflential. You gotta look at it from genre, individually (who people think), talent (musically and vocal) and also which era they were around, like Mozart completly turned music on its head, but the same can be said about: Dylan, Cash, Cobain, Dimebag, Randy Rhodes, The Who, Sting, Paul Weller etc etc
 
i don't think its so much you either like them or dislike them.. and more so its either you like 70's kiss, or 80's kiss.. because that band changed with the times.. and or didn't change and stayed the sound (when they took of the make up they were hated.. hahaha) either way i like old kiss songs from the 70's but when the 80's came around i think they lost what they never really had much of.. talent.. haha
 
Without A Doubt For Me It's Got To Be Berry Gordy, Founder Of Tamla Motown.
I Think That Tamla Changed Not Only The Face Of The Recording World, By Introducing Some Of The Greatest Singers And Songwriters That Have Ever Lived: Through Berry Gordy The Culture Of Society Began To Change, Albeit Slowly, To One Of More Tolerance Amongst Different Races Of People;Changes That Are Still Continuing Today.
 
I know what type of music they did.. but they were not a disco pop band.. but they did have a disco song.. and even they hated it..
 
I have to vote Taylor Swift...for me I really understand her songs and feeling behind it. She is one of the few artist that I can sing along to the songs and sound on key. The beat to her songs are so upbeat and ketchy like Picture to burn or Love Story. Its the kind of song that you can listen to once and the whole song is stuck in your head even if you don't like it. I think "so far" she has been a great role model and she is from my state, so of course I have pride from that. I feel like the took a music genere that seemed to be dying and reform it and make it popular and noticed again. I've been a country fan for years, though it is hard to believe because up until the 6th grade, I hated country because my parents listened to it and I hated what I was forced to listen to. Then one day I gave it a try when my CD player batteries died and ended up really likeing it and became a fan ever since. Most of my frienRAB hate country call it boring or lame, since Taylor Swift made it big they have gotten into country a little more and given it a chance granted alot of my other frienRAB dispise her because she is as they call "over-rated." I have to really give her credit though, she went from nothing and worked hard to make it...she didn't get famous through a family meraber or some contest. She kept trying and put in hard work to make it and I am sure it wasn't easy. She really took a style that was made fun of amongst the younger generation and made it come alive again and for anyone to do that is just really amazing. She has inspired me to not be afraid to tell my frienRAB that I like country, to not be ashamed of it around certain groups. If they make fun of me or dislike that well that is their opinon...I really think she inspired others of that too and there are more young star's in country music today.
 
I think the one of biggest tragedy in Music history is that they never recorded the Irish fiddle tunes Robert Johnson knew and played.
 
Jelly Roll Morton had just as big an impact, if not bigger, on the development of modern music as Armstrong. not suggesting he wasn't influential himself but it really was Jelly Roll that got the ball rolling.
