Music Choices

[jlcct]

Another thread got me wondering something. What would be your most influential band? For me I'll say the Stone Temple Pilots and more specifically Core because I didn't listen to music before them. I wore out two tapes on bus rides alone. That was about a three year phase.

One more question. What song would you come out to if you were closing a game? ....I'd go with either Red from Chevelle or Passenger from the Deftones. ..or Shove It from the Deftones. If I were Joe Nathan it would have been Change by the Deftones. I like the Deftones

I'm soo sick of Enter Sandman although that probably is one of the coolest song names you'll hear. and the song was pretty good. ,,,,a million years ago.

I'd come out to F**k You by CeeLo.

Most influential band on me? led Zeppelin no question about it.

If I was closing in the MLB I think I'd come out to either Glamorous by The Jesus Lizard or War Pigs by Black Sabbath

The most influential band on me is The Killers. Through them I have realized my appreciation for all the 80s music my dad's always been listening to: The Cars, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joy Division, New Order, David Bowie, Dire Straights, Lou Reed, Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, A Flock of Seagulls and so on.

Music isn't enough of a driving force in my life for me to have a most influential band, but I've said for years my intro song would be Survivor's Eye of the Tiger.

Most influential band? You guys are all too young because no one was more influential than the Beatles who played a key role in the sounds and style of a whole generation.

But the discussion is the most influential band to one person, not music or other bands. Maybe you missed the premise.

I understand but the Beatles influenced millions which is just multiples of one.

I don't agree with that althiough I admit he was influential. I remember 1956 and his debut on the Ed Sullivan Show with my parents and how they just sat there with their mouths open seemingly in shock.

Jeez, they are even spamming our fun threads now!

Rolling Stone magazine just came out with the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time." The last pages exhibit the multitude of judges they used. It confirmed for me the Beatles status as the best ever as they had 5 of the top 15 which were;

1) Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Beatles)
2) Pet Sounds (Beachboys)
3) Revolver (Beatles)
4) Highway 61 Revisited (Bob Dylan)
5) Rubber Soul (Beatles)
6) What's Going On (Marvin Gaye)
7) Exile on Main Street (The Rolling Stones)
8) London Calling (The Clash)
9) Blonde on Blonde (Bob Dylan)
10) TheWhite Album (Beatles)
11) Sunrise (Elvis Presley)
12) Kind of Blue (Miles Davis)
13) The Velvet Underground and Nico (The Velvet Undeground)
14) Abbey Road (The Beatles)
15) Are You Experienced? (The Jimi Hendrix Experience)
