The most influential/important bands of each decade

(1/12) > >>

Kill.kenada:
Ok, so I'm compliling a list of the most influential or important bands of each decade.

I'd preferably like 5 for each decade (starting at the 60's)

I won't list what I have so far, but I'd like to see what everyone else thinks, also might sprk up some healthy debate...

Be My Head:
I'll bite

60s
The Velvet Underground
Miles Davis
AMM
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
Simon and Garfunkel

70s
Yes
The Mahavishnu Orchestra
Kraftwerk
Can
Black Sabbath

80s
Venom
Slayer
Watchtower
Pixies
Sonic Youth

90s
The Flaming Lips
Death
Kyuss
Pavement
Cynic

Aegir:
Which one are we doing, important or influential? Important (a very subjective term) and influential (which is more objective, sort of) are two completely different things. For example, I doubt Be My Head honestly thinks that AMM influenced more people than the Beatles did.

Kill.kenada:
Yeah, I was thinking the same.
I guess influential then.

I meant important as in their contributions to music and culture. How they shaped the decade etc.

Iconic maybe? I don't know.

Just create your list from your own interpretation of the question

Nodaisho:
Beatles should definitely be in there for the 60s, while I haven't studied music enough to name how they have influenced things, I would put a big wager on them being a major factor in the sound of a lot of bands.
