Stravinsky mind you

Of those mentioned on the list---the Beatles.

Even if you hate him, Elvis Presley should've been on the list. The Beatles and the Rolling Stones have both admitted that their bands would've never been if it hadn't been for Elvis.

"Before Elvis, there was nothing."--John Lennon

Before Elvis, there were a bunch of black guys doing the same thing.

BB King and Elvis.

You gotta say the Beatles.

Gotta say would not have had motley crue on this list. I'd say van halen has accounted for many more kids taking up guitars in the name of rock than they had. Like the music or not that whole 80s metal scene came straight out of the 1979 release of Van Halen 1.

And yeah elvis should be on the list and so should chuck berry.

Led Zepplin get's my vote.

Tie between Zeppelin and SAbbath. The Beatles come in pretty close though, also.


PLus, it sorta depends....because they're different types of music. They all had big impacts in their genre...for exapmle the pistols were a huge punk band and so forth.

The Beatles had the biggest impact overall.

John Coltrane and the velvet underground.

New Kids On The Block took music and marketing to "a ho 'notha level"

Like it or not, it is a fact
