Fun Stuff > BAND
The most influential/important bands of each decade
Dazed:
Pretty much, I was just mainly listing rock because it's what I (kind of?) know. Need more specifics before I can break it down further.

Also, Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye pretty much have to be in the list for the 70's. Also, Stooges. Also, Beach Boys. Also, Johnny Cash.
Basically I think we can conclude that this is pretty much impossible without sub-division into genres.

I mentioned the Stooges.

Fair enough, the second list was bands that needed to be repeated. Still, you'd think someone would have thought of Bob Marley.

It's the 5 band limit nufan, trust me. Khar and I were talking about Johnny Cash on gabbly the other day and basically came to the conclusion that it should be more like 50 bands per decade. :P
I thought of Bob Marley, but I was trying not to make my list into a list of bands that I think people overlooked. As for Prince, it's really neat how he's blended so many things together, but he's so strongly influenced by so many different sources that it's tough to gauge how truly influential he is outside of the '80s.
As for Johnny Cash, one could argue that it's equally ridiculous that Merle Haggard wasn't mentioned anywhere. Or Willie Nelson or Loretta Lynn. I mean, seriously, Willie wrote something like a billion songs over the years.
KharBevNor:
I can easily imagine Tool and Meshuggah influencing each other, because they're both kind of shit.
If you think Tool are heavy metal you have no real idea what heavy metal is as a discrete genre and aesthetic. It's not a matter of taste or debate or elitism or anything. Whether something is metal or not has no reflection on its quality, though I'm not personally much of a fan of Tool, it is just a fact. Saying Tool are metal is just as ridiculous as saying, for example, Big Black or KMFDM are metal.
