My mother hates Jim Morrison, but I like the Doors. I have an equal disdain for Fleetwood Mac (commence the vomitting) and Stevie Nix's schrill voice, but she seems to like them.

Both of my parents had a heavy influence on what I consider good. Most of the crap in the 90s and 00s is recycled horse feces compared to alot of what was put out earlier.

Wow, what he said...like he read my mind....

Best is in the ear of the listener; but, I think the Beatles and the Eagles for impact on the music world. Hard to argue with a lot of the others listed in this thread though. Being a child of the '60's Pink Floyd and Zepplin are right up there at the top.

OK time for me to stir the pot.
All the music and artist named so far derived there style of music from two sources, Blues and Folk music, Blues being the primary.
All the reading and studying in the world of Rock n Roll leads you back to these two forms of music.
Jazz was based off the Big Band sound and in its own right is Rock n Rolled Big Band music.
By the 90's we had made full circle and now we are a point where only the truly talented stand out as the rest is a remix of something or someone else.
What I find ever more interesting is that today's kids are still listening to a lot of what we grew up on. (That's us old fogies) The bands listed here are the backbone of Rock n Roll. I include MoTown funk in with RnR as it also help define the music of the 60's and 70's.
The blues is TRUE AMERICAN music. So we can lay claim as Americans to a good portion of the musical form known as Rock n Roll!
Now for a real pisser to some folks - LOL!!!
For all you skin heads and pedjidice folks that love Rock n Roll - Blues is derived from the spiritual and folk music of American slaves. In the late 40's blacks were adding a real "Humping - Thumping" back beat to their music.
Chuck Berry the un-crowned King of Rock n Roll, Little Richard and others were grooving long before the pretty white boy from Tennessee (Elvis) ever came on the seen.
Whites were crossing the tracks to see these great black bands laying down that awesome beat.
So at the end of the day we owe our thanks to the American slave for the music we all love called Rock n Roll!

The good thing about this current administation is that their views are so far left that people are realizing that this was not change that they wanted and will hopefully vote for conservatives during the next election.

As for bands, it depends what kind of mood I am in. Definately, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
