Most Influental Artist of Recent Times

Most Influential Musician

Ok this is a poll on who you believe to be the most influential artist(s) of recent years, i have decided to include a poll on some artists featured to get the ball rolling, however if you believe there is someone else who has had more influence over the music industry please feel free to add them onto the thread.

- My choices were just the first names that came into my head so please excuse any spelling mistake.

tupac....well this thread is done lol

Yep its that simple lol

yes...yes it is
lol

Jimi man gotta go with Jimi. But if your goin back that far, why not Led Zepplin or the Beattles. I'm not a huge fan of either, but they seem to be more influential than most of the pop people out there, even to today. Man, Stevie Wonder, and what the hell Miles Davis. Oh and African Bambaata for the DJ's

Well i am glad to see some new contenders for most influential being thrown in please keep them coming more the better.

we'll i dont know y u put eminem in the poll but eminem was infulenced by tupac, biggy, run dmc and other great rappers....Run Dmc shoudl have been in there...

Jimmy Hendrix doesn't really belong in "recent" influential music.

Plus, it's really hard to say who is influential when they are so new. Who knows who will make the largest impact on the future. I would probably say 2Pac, or MM. It's hard to argue with Kurt Cobain, also.

But out of those, I voted Hendrix. Because. . . well. . . shit. . . it's Jimi Hendrix!!!

Oh, and by the way. . . Britney Spears?????? What the. . . ???

She influenced me to: -

yeah even though tupac is the in direct reason there so much of that crap called rap, Elvis or the beatles have him beat by having a larger impact on music. Even though out of the catergory hendrix is by far the most talented shit he did with a guitar back in his time was un heard of

Obviously its The Beatles but for some reason they are not in the poll. Granted The Beatles were influenced by the likes of Elvis and Chuck Berry but you ask anyone in music today and they'll tell you The Beatles influenced them in some way.

Mozart influenced everyone in some way and even other great composers

Ya just had to take it back there. 😛 Well then what about Bach, Haydn. And the Italians taught 'em all

yeah but the renisance helped all of that, no composer is better than bethoveen though

old dirty cat joe with his unconventional blues rythm inspired chuck berry and elvis stole so much off of chuck

Yes, yes indeed, but influential is what we were talking about.

o yea now prehistoric time some guy that started hitting on some rocks and he was the most influential musician end of this thread.

Hey if the shoe fits...ooga booga and a bang bang bang. But seriously though imagine when music was first invented cats was probably like "what the @#$% is this?!" It's a wierd question. Like when in time did organisms start having sex?

ahh but music was not invented it was discovered lol
