- Post subject: Most INFLUENTIAL Albums
|
Make a list of the most influential albums of all time here, not your favorites. For example: London Calling the best album of all time but Velvet Underground and Nico influenced music more. _________________ "The future is unwritten."

Also i designated a whole thread to this topic instead of just using my Best Songs/Albums/Artists Thread because it's a very big topic and i want to see lots of feed back _________________ "The future is unwritten."

I had an idea we should put what genres or bands wouldn't exist without a certain album e.g.:
Terry Riley - A Rainbow in Curved Air
Incalculable impact on modern music no krautrock (can, klaus) who both heavily used repetition techniques that were pioneered on this album
Captain Beefheart - Trout Mask Replica
No link between psychedelic/blues/avant garde no post punk bands like b52s or blondie who both cited this album as where they got their style of guitar playing from

Good call with Bringing it all Back Home, that album really is the first folk-rock hybrid you could even go as far as to call it the forefather of modern rock music
