I'd like to see the rest of that list, because picking a Beatles song as THE most influential dance record of all time (or even calling it highly influential at all) is completely ridiculous.

You tell me a rock song before 1966 that uses pre-recorded samples as a musical backdrop, looping, with a repeating up front drum n bass sound. The song has influenced the likes of the Chemical Brothers, Public Enemy and Kraftwerk. Here is the list in its chronological order by year.


The 50 Most Influential Records of All Times
Under the Influence - How This List Was Made
Muzik wanted to define the records that had shaped the music we love today. The music that made Basement Jaxx, The Chemical Brothers, Roni Size and System F all possible. Not necessarily the best records ever, although they were hardly going to be stinkers, but the ones which pushed forward a genre, or fused styles to create a new hybrid. The qualities we were looking for were:

Effect on today’s music - Originality
Fusing of existing genres to create new musical styles Music that changed the club scene as well as the sound.

Art of Noise anyone ?

The group's mostly instrumental compositions were novel melodic sound collages based on digital sampler technology, which was new at the time. Inspired by turn-of-the-century revolutions in music, the Art of Noise were initially packaged as a faceless anti- or non-group, blurring the distinction between the art and its creators. The band is noted for innovative use of electronics and computers in pop music and particularly for innovative use of sampling

83' YouTube - Art Of Noise - Moments In Love

Also the guy who did that did these too

YouTube - Seal - kiss from a rose
and
YouTube - Video Killed the Radio Star

Doesn't even take into account how many people have completely stolen his songs.

I agree it's hard to say what song had the most influence or artist. The Beatles were not thinking techno or big-beat when they recorded "Tomorrow Never Knows". I doubt they were thinking hip-hop when they used backward vocals on "Rain" and drum looping on "Strawberry Fields Forever". People are just acknowledging their influence and innovation. I don't think anyone is saying the Beatles invented techno or hip-hop. But their concepts are very common in those genres.

..but all the the Original post is, is a cut and paste job from other publications. I would rather read what the average joe on the street would say than a music publication. Thats' why I post here and not read magazines. It may well be very influential but I do'nt get what the thread is about and to say they were'nt thinking Techno or hip Hop etc is a ridiculous statement. Of course they were'nt. Those genres had'nt been established at all.

Why does it have to be a rock song? There was non-rock electronic music being produced before 1966.

"Tomorrow Never Knows" has long been my favorite Beatles song, but once again we run into this recurring problem where people aren't content to say simply that something by the Beatles was great piece of music, it has to be the greatest, most wonderful, most influential thing ever put on vinyl.

This is one of my favorited tracks by rock musicians since I really like Jazz more. This song must have sound radical with all those Indian drones and backward sound collages. I could see it's influence on many genres of music. I can't claim Jazz music was exactly using these concepts even though Coltrane was influenced by Indian Music.
