who do you think it was?
and explain why you think it was that person.

and if i missed someone... who else do you think there was?

EDIT: where the heck did my poll go?  i swear it was there a second ago
ok... i'll make it again!! and i'll add The Smiths now Rosie, but i havent heard of them.

ok, i have it back up now... but i guess the old one came back too, so some of the people are there twice! just vote for the one on the top!

and now it's gone... ahhh.. do you guys see it?!

I think The Smiths were the most influential band- a lot of the acoustic guitar riffs you hear today in both pop and rock are very much based upon them. I'm not sure if anyone really knows who they are but they were voted most influential band by Q (i think).

If you don't know who they are i suggest you d/l: There is a light that never goes out, Panic, Bigmouth Strikes Again, Ask (SO good live!) and The Boy with the thorn in his side...i'm gonna go post in the other musicians thread. lol

I think it's Elvis...
he broadened the boundries of music and wasnt afraid to just do what he wanted to do. and in that way he changed music so much and a lot of the music we have today is thanks to him.

he's dead, but it feels like he's still here!
there are millions of impersonators running around
he's still one of the highest paid artists today! (thanx to graceland and his albums are still selling)
and he had a hit just this year after being gone for decades

lol, how many people can do that?!1

I don't like their music, in fact half of it I can't stand but I still have to agree with Kev and say The Beatles
