Elvis definitely. He's at the heart of every single rock n' roll song. And I won't name the other 9 for fear of reprisals.

Agreed

2 ) The same can be said of the Beatles in my opinion Lennon and Mccartney were geniuses.

The Kinks spawned both Heavy Metal and Britpop I would put them above most here.

I don't have ten, but Faith No More would be my number 1. Maybe Bowie.

Bowie yes. Reasons for Faith no More please, because I am gobsmacked.

I think Run DMC should be in any 10 myself and Tangerine Dream.

I'm sorry but Chuck Berry has to be somewhere on the list. I'm not saying number one, but he was a pioneer of rock n roll. He is also one of the best guitarist in the world.

Like Lennon once said: "If you tried to give Rock & Roll another name, you might try calling it Chuck Berry".

Have you heard Faith No More? Do you have any scope of how many bands exist because of Mike Patton and his music? He has had an immense influence over artist of many genres.

I suggest you go listen to some. There are your reasons. Better yet, browse his back catalogue.

It's easy to be influential when you were the first musicians in a modern genre.

Exactly.

As soon as Mike Patton joined Faith No More, Metallica (an already established band) started crediting them as influences.

My point was why ask me what my reasons are for having them number 1? Why do I believe that? Because you only need look at all the bands his music has spawned or at least influenced. However, you do genuinely seem to be so far out of touch with anything remotely modern that it's not surprising you're unaware. I mean that as a genuine deduction, not a diss or anything.

AC, no other band is mentioned more often when it comes to asking band members or musicians who they were most or in part influenced by.

Well it can be taken both ways. laughing out loud The irony of your comment will not be lost on many. It's cool you think your alternative wink and I don't mean that as a "diss" (whatever new fangled kind of word "diss" is) either "homes". smile

They're a name to drop. I seriously doubt half the people who say it have actually been influenced.

Doesn't disprove the fact that you're an old guy stuck in the days of his youth, refusing to accept that music has moved on. You play the age card against me all the time but it's not me who wanders into this forum looking uneducated is it? You're genuinely out of touch with all the great modern music post 95. No wonder you don't understand why I voted FNM as number 1.
