-- The most influential albums (http://forum.vcdq.com/showthread.php?threadid=83838)

The most influential albums

Anyone got any ideas on this one ,here are a few of mine
Rust never sleeps - Neil Young, without which we would probably have had no Nirvana.
Dreamkid - Sutherland Brothers and Quiver,
Probably provided the most covers ever.
Its a Beautiful day - Its a Beautiful day ,plagiarized by everyone from Zeppelin to Purple
Paranoid - Black sabbath , most cloned band ever.
Forever changes - Love, influenced just about everybody from 67' onwards.(Robert Plant does some great covers from this album)
Also i have had the great pleasure of seeing this performed live by the late great Arther Lee.

I would have to just say The Beatles. Every band wanted to be them, but no one ever came close.

I gotta say you're right in the sense that they inspired a lot of people and musicians alike but musically the only group I can think of that they influenced is oasis,the Beatles themselves drew their influence from people like Smokey Robinson and John Lee hooker and other soul and blues musicians some well known and some very obscure.
You're also spot on about no-one coming close most of their music still sounds fresh today considering I've been listening to it on and off for 46 years.

Good pick on The Beatles para, and gezzer I have to agree on Neil Young as cheesy as it can be hey hey my my is one of my fav songs of all time , few honorable mentions from me:

Rage Against The Machine (pick your album of choice here)
Simon & Garfunkle

Pixies i have got to be honest and say I have never really listened to them.

Clapton was never influenced by the Beatles did play lead guitar on while my guitar gently weeps tho. His influences were all blues based ,He was the only white person ever allowed to cover bob marley.Lead on the classic layla was Duane Allman.I could go on but i wo'nt.

Oh yeah got tickets to see him in may

And remember down the road,not across the street!

Well I'd have to say the albums I've listened to most over the years are

Duran Duran: The Wedding Album
U2: Achtung Baby
The Stone Roses: The Stone Roses
The Streets: A Grand Don't Come For Free

I think I get sucked into a track or album by the lyrical content rather than any of the musical themes or styles. Having said that I can't listen to metal at all. For some reason I've never gotten into it. Haven't really tried to be honest. Whenever I come into contact with it I just switch off.

The rest of the primary posters are in the early to mid 20's.


ManCandy is the oldest on the board, CarolinaWolf doesn't post anymore I don't think.

So many bands and albums that could be listed but I'd say band-wise the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Judas Priest, AC/DC, and Pink Floyd have some of the most influential sounds/albums in the rock/metal genre.

Yeah, yeah, yeah Priest is/was headed by a fag (Rob Halford) but what the fuck you can't deny they made metal what it is/was today especially their earlier stuff. Just my all time favorite metal band seen them bring down the house 7 different times over the years.

1) Sabbath
2) Beatles

4) Floyd

OH SHIT!...here we go




now the point of metal being sdtarted by bands like black sabbath blue cheer and vanilla fudge is valid....but you cant take away the fact that priest changed music frome a bluesy style to a double guitar classical based music....not to mention they started the leather and spikes look that dominated the music....just like slayer didnt invent metal....they gave it a new edge to the people...i dont even know if they were the first....probably not...but they are the standard(that goes for priest and slayer)

yeah blackmore did it first but we are talking metal not psychedelia....by the time purple added coverdale(1974) and adopted that metal sound priest released sad wings side by side with them(which was more influential in my generation)...nobody ever mentiond coverdale purple in my gen and rainbow at that time was joe lynn turner(ungh...radio rock)....dio was only noticed as a solo act or sabbath then...it took me years to find out he fronted rainbow

this also cancels out your maiden comment of "2 years before"...and again dead and allmans were not metal...im not taking anything away from any of those greats...but youre not getting my point....priest was one of the most influential metal bands ever...like em or not you can not take that away....

british steel was the first priest album that every metalhead had to have...every kid i knew with a guitar knew how to play breaking the law and living after midnight....me included....

anyone from my generation will support my arguement...no not yours you geezer...and not paras(youre too young)....maiden opened for them in 81 as a screaming for vengence/#beast tour....maidens roots start in 79...priest in 69 or so

Nice one Para,I reaaly don,t get zoots obsession with trying to make a point about Priest's influence in the music scene.At best they were a good hard edged pop group,they didn't do anything first , the whole glam thing stemmed from Bowies mrs (can't be arsed to go into detail) and metal as we know it was a progression from those early hard edged rock/blues bands.The overdriven guitar work thing was entirely Iommi's.The first overdriven amp was built for Iommi by Laney,after that marshall and fender followed suit.
Can't believe no mention for the Byrds,the Yardbirds or mountain-Lesley West what a guitarist.The yardsbirds alone produced Clapton,Paige and Beck.

Gotta say I'm not a big fan of punk I do get it but musically it don't rock my boat .Punk came out of the underground anarchist scene that was around at the time and reflected the mood of the day.Fucked prog which considering the way it was going was no bad thing.I do listen to the great rock n' roll swindle every now and again.I'll look this album out and give it a go.I'm a big pink fairies fan one of the original UK anarchistic bands If you get chance have a listen.Best album never never land.

Yeah, can't comment on much punk myself as I like it, but not really into it. Gezzer you should give Zootys band a listen there pretty damn good. I like it alot.

thanx for the plug pg....but im not sure you guys would like the bad brains...that lp at least...they have a more metal influenced lp called i against i and a more hardcore one called quickness...all are classic in my eyes

im gonna check out the pink fairies soon

Easy enough to find.........
Just finished building this what do you think.
It has a solid alder Brandoni slimline Les Paul body,All the hardware is gold plated gotoh apart from the machine heads which are Gibson vintage .Pickups are Seymour Duncan P Rails pickups
Pots are d'marzio switchable.The neck is hand made maple and rosewood,Sounds incredible.Its all hand painted cost me nearly a grand to make.

__________________
When you're in a hole put down the shovel.

Can't say I'm a big fan of the artwork but the hardware has given me a boner.

I'm just about to sell 5 out of my 6 guitars to clear some credit card debt but should also have enough left over to buy myself a Gibson Les Paul. I was planning on selling my "active" guitar (Line 6 Variax 700) until I turned round whilst wearing it and hit the door with it taking out a chunk of the lovely blue finish down to the bare wood. That thing cost me about £900 new.

I was also going to sell my effects workstation (GNX4) until I discovered that, in the house move over a year ago, all of the USB pins have been bent or snapped. Fixable, I know, but still fecking annoying when you decide you're going to sell something.

Oasis - Definitely Maybe
Oasis - Morning Glory
The Verve - Urban Hymns

Say what you like about Oasis, you can't deny the fact they influenced most of todays rock bands, not least Kasabian and are responsible for the last 10 years of attempted 'Brit Pop' imitators.

(someone may have already mentioned them, not reading through 5 pages of obscure(certainly not influential) bands to find out

I think early Pixies albums have been pretty influencial (Come on Pilgrim/Surfa Rosa particularly).

Frank Black has freely admitted that they followed a Loud/Quiet/Loud format for alot of their songs (so much so that a recent 'rockumentary' was called that) and that format is pretty prevalent in alot of todays indie/rock.

I'd also have to say that the Velvet Underground and Nico album appears to have been similarly influencial in indie music.

gezzer, I thought Noel Gallagher was a road manager for The Inspiral Carpets? I may be wrong, but I'm sure I read that somewhere.

I agree with cupid on the influence of Oasis. The first two albums influenced a whole generation of guitar based music. It might well have been a heap of shite bands, but there was no mention in the title of the thread that the influenced artists have to be good. So Morning Glory and Definately Maybe, by rights, should be in the list.

Dire Straits? I like em but I won't agree at all.

Oasis? No, just no. They imitated the fucking The Beatles. Just like White Snake or White Lion imitated Led Zep.

I guess since you grew up in the 90's and want to claim Oasis was influential to music be my guest. Just know that you're wrong.

Linnets I think I went to HS with the fag in your avatar.

There's a big difference between inspiring which is what you're really alluring to and influential.Oasis may have inspired people to pick up and play to I doubt it but they never musically influenced shit.I know several young musicians and they all listen to 60,s70,s music my son who's 21 is big purple and sabbath fan (he owns that guitar) hates oasis.

now I is gonna do a USA list...
The byrds
Love
The doors
The grateful dead
The Allman brothers
Steely dan
The Eagles
Velvet Underground
The Doobie brothers (before that twat mcdonald)
The Marshal tucker band
I'll leave the rest to you lot.

Depends where you draw the line.

Kasabian were influenced by Oasis who were, amongst others, influenced by the Beatles.

Does this mean that if Oasis hadn't formed, Kasabian (for example) would have produced the same style of music they do? Probably not.

Does that make Oasis influential? I'd say so. Although the roots may remain the same throughout each generation, you can't deny a band from being influential in it's current generation.

I like how people keep implying that because Oasis were influenced by The Beatles that it somehow makes them an inferior band.

The Beatles also admit to being inluenced by a number of bands, including The Beach Boys (wtf), does this mean The Beach Boys are better than The Beatles? Depends on your taste I suppose.

I know more Oasis songs than Beatles songs and I prefer Oasis. Beatles were great just a bit before my time and I prefer the updated perfection of Oasis. Kasabian and Arctic Monkeys are both awesome and no doubt some of the kids today will argue that they were the influence behind the next generation of bands.

Kasabian and awesome in the same sentence that's more wrong than bananarama covering midnight rider.I watched them at that gig on the BBC the one where Jonathon Ross was pretending to know about music ,metallica came on after and blew them away .I'll give you arctic monkeys and the killers why you no mention them eh?
But the other 00's bands especially cold fuckinplay all a load of karaoke friendly crap.

Yeah I already figured that what with all the dummy spitting ,toys out the pram and all.

Here's a great album one of the best ever well worth a listen if you have never heard it ,Its from 1967 and still sounds fresh and is one of the most influential ever.

Maybe its just me but the way I see it is that I expressed my opinion about which albums I thought were influential and suddenly there was a rush of gypo's telling me my opinion was wrong.

I know its a natural reaction for you to consider me to be the instigator but I think if you reread the thread since I joined it you will find that I never tried to force my taste on anyone else, I merely explained why I thought I was right.

Pulled out some Pink Floyd this week that I hadn't listen to in a few. Still a strong sound and imo one of the best bands ever. Not sure who much influence they had on other bands but still remain one of the top 10 rock bands ever in my list.

Dammit Gilmour just fuckin do it you lazy bastard! Granted Wright past away last September but you still got Waters and Mason who are down for it.

And as for anthems there are more and better on gerry and the pacemakers greatest hits....

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

You'll be humming /singing that for days now!!

Edit> before anyone states the obvious I know it's from carousel and yes Elvis did it first.
