im vclueless as to whether this has been done- im not asking for your favourite bands/soloists of each deacade, im asking for in your view- the most important, innovative and inspirational- whos affected music that we here today? please explain why.

ok, mine:
50s- chuck berry: for literally taking the basis of blues and adding electric guitars- creating the rock'n'roll sound.

60s- jimmy hendrix: not only did he invent the left-handed guitar, he created new sounds with the guitar that are commonplace today- yet back then it was completely original.

70s- Led Zeppelin: this was a toss up between them and black sabbath, but zeppelin because before its release there was nothing like led zeppelin I, after its release, rock music changed forever.

..have to think of the other decades, anyway, go for it.
