What band or artiste has influenced your life most?

Post-rock = (often, but not limited to) Film-soundtrackish music like Explosions In The Sky and stuff.

Post-punk = Joy Division, Bunnymen, and arguably The Cure.

:)
 
I'm going to go with Black Sabbath - because, they've influenced the entire metal world, basically. Also, because everyone was very talented.

Death also held a huge influence, because of Chuck's story.
 
Yes, Tool are most definitely progressive.
But keep in mind there are many different sub-genres of progressive music that range from early stuff right up to today and often have quite different sounRAB.
 
Honestly it was the Red Hot Chili Peppers Stadium Arcadium that affected my life the most. I was always really into music and I always had a passion for it...but when I heard Stadium it changed my whole view on music in general and actually made me pick up the guitar and start playing myself. So definitly I'd say it's the Chili Peppers....old and new...love it all.
 
hah its kind of lame, but when i was younger (11 or 12) my friend gave me a Linkin Park CD to listen to. while it's not really my cup of tea anymore, i really liked them after hearing them for the first time. they kind of brought me into the rock/metal genres, so in that way they were pretty influential for me.
 
As much as I love music, since I have no idea about modern classification of genres, i have no choice but to consider myself a newbie of music. :(

I don't know what prog is...
 
I may or may not have been in possession of shit like this in the past :o:

Modern Progressive rock is not progressive...a blanket statement I know, but they all sound the same: same chord progressions, pretentious lyrics, same production, same guitar sounRAB etc.
The difference between say the butterfly effect and tool is negligible.
Where has the diversity gone?
(sorry shishedo)
 
In my case the dislike is justified. A lot of my frienRAB in high school were Slipknot 'maggots'. They didn't just listen to the music... they would also etch the lyrics in desks and walk around in those stupid Slipknot shoes.

I'll concede that Joey Jordison is a competent drummer (though quite overrated) and Corey Taylor isn't a bad vocalist. Stone Sour - Bother is a good track.
 
1980s red hot chili peppers. from them i got into jimi hendrix, eric dolphy, and the P-Funk.

all 4 of those artists have greatly influenced my approach and method to playing music.
 
most of the slipknot hate is image related and has absolutely nothing to do with the music at all.

i'm no fan of the band, but IOWA was in many ways a good piece of work particularly in the rhythmic department. Also, their singer is one of the best, most diverse screamers i've ever heard.

but yeah. the blanket hate that slipknot receive is unrelated to the album music, which most people who talk bad of them have never even listened to so much as a second of.

but then, slipknot's image is so repulsively detestable and abhorrent and their fanbase is so unbelievably sad-a$s that it almost justifies hating the band and their music...just 'cause.
 
Probably Ray Charles, Van Morrison and Led Zeppelin

My parents Ray Charles recorRAB got me into music

and Morrison and Zeppelin are two of my earliest influences and still in my top five, probably 1 and 2.
