Maybe you could pin point a particular era like 50s rock n roll for example and go from there. Buddy Holly and his Fender Stratocaster would be one of my choices for that particular era.

Not a bad suggestion

And even then, as you suggested Bloozcrooz, individual preference/opinion is really the only thing that matters in the end.

If we're strictly talking about rock n roll, no precursors to rock n roll, then I'd probably say Hendrix. I think the effect he had on guitar playing surpasses any other influence that there has been on rock. When listening to post 60s rock or "pop" rock, I don't hear any influence as dominant as Hendrixs' guitar playing. Sure, there were people experimenting with distortion before Hendrix came onto the scene, but he took it to an entirely different level that just blew everything before him away.

You hear that influence everywhere, from funk master Eddie hazel to Stevie ray to John frusciante to buckethead and vai and satriani. I don't think anyone's influence has reached out to so many of the dominant figures in more recent rock n roll.

out of those i put Dylan, but where is Elvis. He is more important than everyone in the list.

Agreed, thats been my opinion on the matter. Whats even more funny is how much I hate Elvis, only to find out that Hendrix was an avid Presley fan. lol.

I agree with you, I see Hendrix in almost the same way I view Eddie Van Halen, just different eras. I would almost go with Randy Rhoads instead of Halen if it wasn't for the fact that Eddie Van Halens career was more mainstream reaching a larger audience. And considering Rhoads died.

Maybe that's the reason you think that way about Beatles.

Back on the topic
Beatles are in the poll, that was on topic no :confused:

Just saying that most of the artists in the poll I've listened to and been impressed, The Beatles are as bland and non threatening as you like. Revolver sounds like something that could be sang on a school bus by all the kids.

Like them or not, I think it's pretty obvious The Beatles have had the most influence over popular music. I don't want to undermine the other artists on the list because they were all extremely important too. It was pretty hard for me to vote for the Beatles at first though because I'm a big fan of VU and The Who, but hey, the poll question was most influential rather than favorite. I do love the Beatles though. (:

Necromancer 12-03-2012 03:42 PM
I see the Beatles as being innovators in the process of studio recording, musical experimentation, etc. more so than the actual (modern) sound and style of there music today. I never was a big Beatles fan myself, and I cant remember the last time that Ive listened to any of their music. I would go with the Rolling Stones blues/rock. At the same time I rank The Who just as high on the list. The Who accomplished and broke more boundaries musically than a lot of the other bands did.
