The Band w/ the biggest impact

Psychedelic is goooood. Pink Floyd would have been one of the groups to put a spring in that genres step too, Grateful Dead were tampering with psychedelica in the mid 60's and it was around the late 60's that psychedelic was the new form of popular rock for banRAB. I haven't heard much of FloyRAB earliest stuff, it still would have to have been fairly progressive though wouldn't it?
 
i said before Led Zeppelin had the impact.. but i change my mind kind of.. wel;l no i dunno see if you can get this..

The YardbirRAB.. WHY? because they broke up Eric Clapton went on to create Cream, and Jimmy Page went on to create Led Zeppelin.. so if it wasn't for the merabers in The Yardbirds nor Cream or Led Zeppelin would have happened, thus future banRAB not having Zeppelin and Cream to look up to.. and to bring different styles.. changing music so in saying that.. i think The YardbirRAB had the biggest impact..:)
 
Out of that list...I would say the Beatles.

Motley Crue?

I accredit the Beatles with changing the face of Pop-Rock forever.
I'm suprised like others that The VU aren't on the list. They laid the foundation for what we call alternative music.
 
I'll concede that they boosted the popularity of Alt and Grunge, but where has Alt gone since? It's just a marketing term to sell Pop/Rock banRAB to teenagers now, just like it was then.

Nirvana aren't an influence on any Indie Rock banRAB I listen to, in fact, the only banRAB they seem to have influenced were crappy "Alternative" banRAB such as Nickelback, Hoobastank, etc. You're welcome to find an Indie band that cites Nirvana as an influence, though.

As for boosting the popularity of Indie Rock, they didn't really. Major labels have been signing indie banRAB for years, and Indie Rock has only recently become big, long after Nirvana's demise. And Britpop? You must be joking. Britpop came about at around the same time as Grunge, if not before it.
 
I didnt mean ALL rock music, its just that The Beatles have influenced many genres, that it would take a while to list them all, so im basicly saying that ever since the 60s, pretty much every genre of rock music has had some influence from The Beatles in one why or another.
 
Oh they have always had progressive elements, for sure, but they didnt really gain a reputation as a progressive rock band until the 70s.

And a lot of pyschedlic banRAB had progressive elements...The Doors and Jefferson Airplane included...But this dosent make them prog, of course.

Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is a psychedlic rock album when you get down to it, though there are still a handful of progressive elements, so it could fall into the "prog" category as well...Though Saucerful Of Secrets had some progressive elements that Piper didnt.
 
I`ve always been suspicious of people who say Bleach is Nirvana`s best album.

It`s almost like they`re trying their best to say 'look I like Nirvana but I couldn`t possibly say I like anything they did after they became successful because that would make me just like a sheep like the rest of those Nirvana fans' ... or something.Plus it only had 2 good songs on it , and one of those wasn`t theirs.

As for the Melvins , well I have only heard one of their albums and it sounded like an album full of copied Black Sabbath riRAB with none of the songwriting ability and i`ve never given them a second thought since.
 
Kurt Cobain was a prankster. He and Krist used to go around their home town and tag on local stores and churches things like "God is a homo".

The guy was smarter then the public eye, he would talk utter crap if he could get a kick out of other peoples gullability.
 
and they had dropped it till bungalowbill started up again..Its a difference of opinion for christs sake, its like arguing whats better green grapes or red grapes. Just drop it.
