Kraftwerk
Jimi Hendrix
Miles Davis
I believe they set a musical direction for a generation of bands. Didn't overthrow a government, didn’t feed the hungry or heal the sick. But they did capture a moment and they documented better than anyone before or since what it meant to be Northern and working class.Love them mate but did they change society??
I'd add Tangerine Dream alongside them.Kraftwerk
Yes. They caused an outbreak of mass vegetarianism.Love them mate but did they change society??
Kylie has a few talentsStock, Aitken Waterman by discovering that you can polish a turd with no musical talent and dominate the charts with it, resulting in a lot of the crap we have today.
Honourable mention to Tony Wilson as an antidote.
Fair enough, misread the earlier post - thought it was more about influence musically.I like MF Doom, but can you really say he "changed history, culture, fashion etc" ??
For me it's probably The Beatles, Bowie and the Pistols.
Blur did that first tbhOasis. Dragged everything away from boy bands back to guitar indie music.
