I thought it was The Byrds playing his songs with electric guitars that convinced him to go electric, no? The Byrds amalgamated The Beatles and Bob Dylan for their sound which Bob liked, so you also have to mention The Beatles somewhere too. And the band, The Band, that once backed Dylan backed Ronnie Hawkins first as The Hawks. So if anything it would be The Beatles and Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks that "help "changed music more than anything else." Not to mention other bands that were influential too, I'm not for just one band or person radically changing music, because every artist/band has their influences and contemporaries. Even though bands like The Animals and the Byrds are often over looked they have their place in the world of music just like Zimmie, he wasn't the only critter making music in the 60's.

I Agree^

Excuse me? House Of The Rising Son is an ancient blues standard. It was played by who knows how many barroom bluesmen before The Animals picked it up. The earliest recorded version was Clarence Ashley's 1933 recording, and he claims he learned it from his grandfather. Who probably learned it from HIS grandfather. And so on and so forth.

...

Sorry, off topic. Carry on.

None of those versions convinced Bob Dylan to go electric, though. The Animals version did.

I wouldn't go as far as 'any other discussion on MB'. Certainly though for some people a particular piece of music might be so personal to them that they might not want to really discuss it. That can limit real discussion.

Though there isn't any one definitive answer to this, i'm gonna go ahead and mention The Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds", which is what inspired The Beatles to do "Sgt. Peppers" in the first place (and, in my opinion, is the more intricate and forward-thinking of the two albums, though that's getting more subjective then i'd like).
