Personally, I would have to go with Bill Haley and the Comets, for starting Rock n Roll :D . Oh, and the reason why I don't make a poll for this one is because there are to many to name.

What do you have against "Rock around the CLock Tonight"? Besides, it was tie between them and AC/DC for me, do I went with the one who started it all.

Nirvana. Though it's extremely difficult to single out one band.

There is a lot of good music out there, and I don't think it's possible to single out one person/group.

I kinda hate how everyone bags on rappers. Sure they dont actually play the instruments, but SOME of them are quite talented lyricists.

I don't know. If we're talking influence the Beatles and Beethoven are up there, but strictly music, hmmm, probably Nirvana, though I really think we should break this up into categories. Otherwise you might just say, "who is your favorite band?"

:shock:

My nomination goes to Led Zeppelin. Over the Hills and Far Away being the best song ever in existence.

edit- but Bill Haley is definitely in my top 20! Rock around the clock baby! :D

double edit- Oh man, and AC/DC is up there too. You have excellent taste Mr. Thaiguy,

95% of them don't write their own lyrics.
