If you think that's bad, I can't even imagine your reaction if it had been along the lines of, say, Creed, Nickelback and Pearl Jam. XD

I'm not going to address the other two but is Nirvana even THAT influential? I mean sure they influenced grunge for like 5 years but then what? Nickelback? Hinder? Have they really left a lasting, positive influence?

No, i agree, i dont see much influence, maybe nirvana, but thats it. Nirvana, not even that much. I say the choices given are alot better doode.

In case if influencing the formation of rock, I have a had time seeing anybody beat Robert Johnson in that category.

ummm i have.

Jimmahhhh Hendrix.

This would be so much more interesting if it wasn't juat a "rock music" poll.

It would've been more interesting if the Beatles weren't on here, because they're obviously going to get the most votes.

yeah and i dont even see why.

Because they did a lot for music and took risks that bands of their level of popularity aren't supposed to take. Thus inspiring bands that followed to do similar things.

what about pink floyd

hmmm, pink floyd was pretty influental, what abou ac/dc???

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

personally, my favorite band from that era was the doors. as for how influential they were? idk about that. i love them, though.

you laugh, but its actually unbeleiveable, so much roc is based around power chords, which was all started by acdc. they have no musical tallent, but they defined the major form of rock on the fretboard.

I'm pretty sure Pete Townshend would have something to say about you giving acdc credit for the power chord...

acdc built up the power chord. pete townshend was better than just power chords

I do laugh, because ACDC didn't invent power chords...

According to Wikipedia, Link Wray first introduced power chords. The Kinks "You Really Got Me" was the first hit with power chords, and apparently Pete Townshend coined the term.

Plus influencing the power chords isn't something I'd be completely proud of, with the way modern music rapes them.

whatever, i admit acdc sucks, but i still think they were influental.

oh and i diddnt say they invented the pc, i said they harnessed its powerrrr but whatevs.

What are you talking about, Townshend was credited with bringing the heavy use of power chords to rock well before acdc even formed.

ueah but he was a much better guitarist that young.

wat?

So?

so he diddnt spend as much time on the power chord and moved onto cooler, more challenging things

I'm pretty sure the Who used mainly power chords on every one of their albums with the classic lineup.

Wow, if you're serious than you're stupid.

True, that's an exaggeration, but it's holds true for much of their discography.

Nah, I beg to differ. Townshend had some real chops at rythem guitar.

Not denying it, but he also made innovative use of power chords.

Well, you mean with Mr. Windmill? Man that's a cool guitar move...

Er, do you know what a power chord is?

A chord played with great power?

So....I was right?

Power chords have nothing to do with guitar windmills.

You can play a power chord by using the windmill, can you not?

Well, yeh, but you can play a power chord using anything.

.......Touche....

*walks off in distance*

ok i love doing this.

PWNT!!!!

A power chord is a two note chord, consisting of a root and a tonic, and hence neither a major or minor tonality.
