Fun Stuff > BAND

The most influential/important bands of each decade

<< < (3/12) > >>

Be My Head:
Of the Rock bands I did list, none of them got any musical inspiration or ideas from The Beatles. The Beatles were more influential to the music business and the way things were done in the studio. I don't see how any of the bands I listed are less important in their areas than The Beatles, or why they are less deserving of a spot.

60's:
The Beatles
The Velvet Underground
Jimmy Hendrix

Some might bridge more than one decade, I guess.  I stuck mainly to influence in less-mainstream music.

Kill.kenada:
Thanks for the contributions so far. Keep em coming.

There seems so to be a concensus on certain artists, a couple of surprises too.

More, more, more.

Alex C:
The 5 bands limit makes this hard. Also, what about solo acts?

Kill.kenada:
yeah, solo acts are fine.

And 5 was just a guideline, list more if you need to
