But you're talking about music history, and that's not all of history if you're limiting it to just those four genres and in America. I'm sorry if I'm being really picky about this, but as a music minor, I find it really irritating for "music history" to be limited to pretty much the past 50 years and only American culture.

Hmm. I actually like the catagories Statistik listed. If we were to go into every influental/inspiring musician in the history of history, we'd be here for a very long time. I mean seriously, you could go back to Mozart, back to the Greeks and even further back in history.

I'll intrepret the question as sort of a - who in modern history, or the 20th Centry are the most influential/inspiring musicians and for ease, I'll use the catagories given.

Rock: The Beatles - They had the most electic range and really tested out bounderies
Soul: This is a stretch, and probably not considered soul, more blues, but BB King. Several musicians, including contemporary artists are inspired by him. He is the real "King" in my opinion.
Rap/Hip-Hop: Run DMC. I grow up in an era when rap wasn't considered mainstream quite yet. These guys were real. They seemed real at least. And they were FUN! I loved these guys.
Pop: Madonna - You cannot deny that she was the epitome of the Princess of Pop. But every Princess needs a Prince. And that would be Michael Jackson. I still listen to The Wall and Thriller and enjoy every minute of it.

Do you mean Jimmi Hendrix ?


But other than that, I pretty much agree with everything you put, except Michael Jackson and Madonna should both get Pop

I know, but as a music minor/major, I find this topic title rather narrowminded. If you get what I mean. wink.gif

No offense, but are you serious? Nirvana was a grunge band. They were part of a subgenere of a genre. They didn't really define rock n' roll, just simple a subgenre of it.

Elvis has no musical credibility. He is merely an icon. If there were no Big Momma Thorton and no Chuck Berry, Elvis would've just been a drugged up degenerate.

^ The Beatles were a little bit of everything, and they revolutionized and influenced many genres of music, not just rock or pop. That's why they're so great. But I would list them more as rock.

I listed them as Rock. Classic rock to be exact, but meh, rock.

By the way, "Ricki Hendrix" was around when Elvis was (albeit, not in the early Elvis days, but still). laugh.gif
