ftr I don't think influence is as cut and dry as a lot of people make it out to be.
ie comparing bands' influences, which tends to get pretty muddled. Who's more influential, Led Zeppelin or Can or Nick Drake or Terry Riley or Alice Coltrane? You can make solid arguments for any of them, really. I don't think saying "Led Zeppelin isn't as influential as theyre made out to be" is that ridiculous a sentiment, especially when comparing them to other artists of the era. They are no doubt the most famous of the above list. And even if they are influential, did they (directly) influence artists that I care about? Eh. Probably some. But others of the same time period have much more. |
