SPIN's 35 most influential artists of the last 35 years
Predictably Nirvana is #1. Billie Eilish made the list (at 33) but neither Sonic Youth nor The Pixies (for example) did? She's more influential? And no rock bands from the 2000's or the 2010s, not even one? Every band on the list released their first album in the 80s or 90s. No garage rock or post-punk revival bands? But The Spice Girls made the list. Were they really that influential?
Thoughts? Rants? Tirades? https://www.goldderby.com/forum/musi...last-35-years/ |

I have absolutely no idea how influential any of these bands are. I just find them highly suspect of being influential. (The genres mentioned are not to be taken too seriously. I'm not saying they invented any of these styles either.) The genres are there to show what style of music that particular band might have been responsible for advancing further to the next generation of bands - like passing the baton.

1. John Peel Yes, I did care about his opinions. Though he was more influential as a DJ.

I actually can't believe the amount of people who were commenting on this in the link. Really? Who cares what Spin has to say in 2020. It's clickbait. Designed to "stir up controversy".

John Peel was a man of many hats: journalist, DJ, band scout, BBC live music presenter, The Fall's biggest fan.
Lenny Kaye was another who was a writer but also done other stuff. He compiled Nuggets and he was the guitar player for Patting Smith.

I wasn't aware that SPIN was still around.
