Most Influential Rock Artist Ever

boo boo - yeah - I get it - that's how Bonham died. Sux. He absolutely ruled.

I voted Beatles on this one. Then was surprised to see that absolutely no one voted Stones. For me it was between those two. Early on, the Beatles were not that influential, rather they were just picking up on the R&B and R&R out of the U.S. Likewise the Stones. But then both bands became of their own voices. And particularly the stuff w/ Brian Jones. But ultimately the Beatles just win out in the category. But I am surprised by the goose egg.
