I am a really big music fan. And in my listening, there has always been one or two people that stuck out to me as really ground-breaking/innovative musicians. So I decided to make a thread for discussing people like this.

 

If I had to name one, I'd say Chuck Schuldiner.

This guy was one of the pioneers of the death metal genre. Though he originally wrote about gore, like many death metal lyricists, he took his music to new levels with songs that explored more realistic, yet dark themes such as the human mind. Not only this, but this guy could shred. :wub:

 

 

How about you guys?

I like dat Justin Beiber guy, he's making music as we know it!

 

OT:

 

 

I think MJ was really influential in the pop business, even though today's pop-stars have only a small amount of talent compared to him.

Bassnectar Bassnectar Bassnectar, I feel he was always at the top of his game on anything he made save for maybe a few tracks, and with a library of over 100 songs, not a bad feat! His earlier trippy break albums are still so far ahead of their time imo.

Matt Bellamy from Muse is not only gifted on the guitar, he's a stunning songwriter and lyricist as well. It's one thing to shred on a guitar but it's another thing to paint a picture with your lyrics and your guitar.

 

Influential to music on the whole? Probably not, but Muse hasn't been around that long yet so Bellamy's influence might not be recognized for another 5-10 years when new artists come on the stage.

Bob Marley :) I don't think he fits your taste but he's influential.

So is Freddie Mercury.

Oh and Vinyl..

I agree with this. Freddie helped bring the whole performance industry to a new level. Plus, many people look up to him for his talents, and his overall character. Now in writing songs, I feel he lacked, but that's just my opinion...

Black Sabbath, pretty much every rock/metal band says they've been influenced by them in some way :wub:

oh yeah, and the Beatles I guess, I mean I like them and everything, but everyone seems to be a broken record about their influence, gets a little tiring to hear. :huh:

Peter Steele, the lead singer of Type O Negative.

 

There really is no one quite like him. He was an incredibly tall bass guitar player that sang in a very low bass voice as well. His voice and the lyrics that he wrote for Type O Negative are excellent. There is a variety of subject matter ranging from depression, humor, and just general nonsense. I don't think that I have seen anyone really carry emotions through songs quite like Pete.

 

I have cried manly tears to some Type O Negative songs and it is because the songs had such a deep meaning to me. Unfortunately, however, Pete died from some complications a couple years ago. It saddens me to see such an influential artist to me die, especially when he was planning to write a new TON album.

 

R.I.P. Peter Steele. You will be missed.

Black Sabbath to rock, Pantera to metal, The Beatles to literally everyone...

 

Eh, Pantera wasn't that influential as they were great musicians :P Though Dimebag Darrell is a hero to almost every metal guitarist, mostly because of his untimely death (as bad as it to say that). So I guess they are influential in a way.

"The Beatles", because I honestly can't think of many other rock bands that influenced the music scene and genre as much as them. Well, maybe perhaps "The Who".

IMO his songs were above average. Nothing to rave over but he had good solid lyrics with his music:)

Well, you guys obviously know what I'm gonna say.

 

 

 

Dave Mustaine. Affected at least 5 bands in the wave of Thrash that was coming out at the time.

-Metallica (for being an original member)

-Megadeth (starting it)

-Anthrax (major influence behind Scott Ian's guitar playing - though that may be Mustaine just being a self rightious dick again)

-Slayer (Kerry played in Megadeth for a few shows and learnt the Devil's Tritone from Mustaine)

-Exodus (Who replaced Mustaine in Metallica when he was kicked?)

 

Plus, he can shred and come up with riffs like no other. ALSO, his first five albums were very impactful in some sort of way. Killing is my Business being raw and dirty for a first album, Peace Sells being morbidly dark (with lyrical themes such as black magic and Russian Roulette) and having just simply creepy playing styles, So Far So Good So What being one of the more interesting albums in the late 80's, RIP being the most technical and hitting an nail with some of the prog musicians that wanted to be fast and heavy, and Countdown being the most successful commerically while still maintaining a peak heavyness.

 

 

I'd also like to think that Ron Jarzombek would be influential, with his work in Watchtower, Spastic Ink, Gordian Knot and Blotted Science, for starting a new style of metal in the 90's, and Coroner for incorporating new, technical and progressive styles into their music to start a sub genre known very well among underground thrash fans - Technical Thrash Metal.

 

Also, for being fucking Coroner.
