Which ones have influenced YOU the most?
Which ones songs do YOU enjoy playing the most?
I think the Beatles brought about the most change in the industry and they are for sure the band that influenced me the most.
I think that I enjoy playing Neil Young songs the most . GWB |

Of I forgot to mention Rush, even though I can't really play their stuff. |

Location: Keepin' It Weird in Portland, OR | I don't know about the "Music Industry" folks...
but personally...
The Animals... For poignant Lyrics and Music, befitting their time.
Side Story... On my Comcast Homepage, they have a "radio" link. Choose your genre. They have one called 60's Rock. I expected the Beach Boys and old Beatles and Stones...
They have the most awesome acid rock, that I seemed to have missed-out on. But there was/is so much good music from that era that never made it on WRKO Top 40, or Kasey Kasum!
Just a random thought... |

- Can't really get my head around this question. "Change" and "Influence" are such different aspects, and I can't think of any musicians that affected the industry as much as the industry affected artists and musicians.. so I guess I just don't understand the question.
"Which ones have influenced YOU the most?"
Blue Oyster Cult
Boston
Rhandy Rhodes
Harry Chapin
- In all of the above, the artist our groups focus was in perfecting all of the aspects of their music. storytelling, imagination, just as much as sonic clarity/musical excellence etc..
"Which ones songs do YOU enjoy playing the most?"
Don't really enjoy playing anyone else's music as much as I enjoy playing my own.
For the record, I have never understood the "Beatles" thing. I believe George Martin and Brian Epstein were genius in realizing the potential of the Quarrymen. I am much more a fan of all of the members post-Beatles work, but the early Beatles stuff did nothing for me, cept when they covered a few other peoples rock tunes here and there like Chuck Berry. |

Like you, GWB, I'm a Neil Young fan. Wouldn't have started to play guitar if it were not for him. Hardly a day goes by where I don't play some Neil Young. |

Yep I'm almost 50. I can't think of a single musician or band that changed the music industry. Sorry, but musicians and bands are commodities bought and sold by the industry, so I don't see the question. I can think of many people who did change the music industry, but no musicians or bands. I don't know their names but they are the people who came up with MTV, Marconi for the radio, the guys that came up with Napster, the guys who came up with FTP, and newsgroups, and the folks in the porn industry without which the whole streaming music medium would not exist. Satellite radio has dramatically changed the industry, and people like Sam Cooke who were pioneers that help create and mold the recording industry. I guess the most significant was the guy that first put music onto a record and I guess that leads to the folks that invented the Cassette, 8-Track and CD's.
If the question was what band or artist had the most influence on music, that's a different question. It might very well be the Beatles as although I'm not much of a fan of them per se... They influenced musicians and technique that as someone mentioned, changed so much that followed. So in that sense, it probably was the Beatles that affected music the most in history either directly or indirectly.
Again, I probably missed the point, but I tried. |

As for Hendrix, I find his guitar work visually exciting but sonically he doesn't do it for me. Is that blasphemous.... :eek: :D |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | Not sure about questions 1, but for question 2, the Ventures and other driving guitar groups of the late 1950's and early 1960's, primarily of the pure instrumental surf style, but early rock, blues, rockabily and CW as well. John Denver was also an influence.
For question 3, I like to play anything that contains a strong melody, adagio picking and sustained chords. Style wise, I prefer the blues and ballads. Based on how fast the new stuff comes at us in the Praise Band, I really enjoy playing anything I can rehearse a few times before Sunday morning and don't have to sight read. |

Location: PDX | 1) Charlie Parker (although i would say his influence was more on the "scene" than the industry)
2) Miles Davis followed closely by Bach
3) Too many, but most would fit in the category of American Standard composers.
