Let's be resonable and not compare Nickelback to Hendrix

OK, I've heard a lot of people say that influence is subjective, but there is simply no way that the most influential bands of the 1980s and 1990s were all white guys with guitars. Just no.

not unless he's only specifically thinking of rock music.
Somewhere the Poe is shaking his head at as all and questioning why all of our most influential artists are English speaking.

Yeah your probably right but I can only really comment on musicians that I'm comfortable enough to say to say, "Yes, this person influenced these people". I'll be the first to admit I'm pretty ignorant most non-rock music before the year 2000. Its something that I'm working on, trying to get a boarder understanding on all kinds of music.
Also, some of them had drums.

Indeed. I had forgotten about that one. Also the Kinks ´You Really Got Me´ is pretty close to punk in its way. And that was like 64 or 65? I think the genius (if genius is the right word) of Malcolm McClaren was his ability to preempt the changing mood of the mid 70s by cynically merging the garage sounds of the mid to late 60s and adapting it to the style of the New York Dolls. This is essentially what his creation, the Sex Pistols, amounted to. For me, the far more interesting stuff was being produced by the American groups of the time. The Pistols made their statement with a couple of classic singles before they ran out of steam and became a kind of caricature of themselves.
