still i have to say the most influential musical artist has to be Insane slwn possy they obviously inspired all the greats such as elvis, in an interview recently rediscovered with elvis elvis says, " oh those damn dirty faygo slinging clowns from hell are the reason i wrote heartbreak hotel and decided to get into the music industry, i love those silly bastards" the list goes on they inspired KISS, ROLLING STONES, LED ZEPPELIN HENDIRIX, and so on and so on, so there you go if youve ever wandered whos responsible for the sole purpose of all the music we have today its because of the horribly un talented artists known as Insane Clown Possie
