I'll start: 60s: The Beatles 70s: The Rolling Stones (possibly the allman bros idk) 80s: The Talking Heads 90s: THE PIXIES even though their best was a lil earlier but they were huge in the 90s and this was a dead dead era 2000's: System Of A Down (and its not even close) 2010's: I dont know. just awful. GOOSE? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically, Nirvana worship the pixies. I went back and forth between artists I like and artists with definite importance. In the 90s, Nirvana (grunge) and Green Day (punk) were the most important bands in that they extracted rock music, in two different ways, from the dreadful hair metal era. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most importance to me, is Nirvana. They ushered in an entire new group of music (Grunge Rock). They aren't even my favorite band, but they changed the music that people were listening to at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came around on Nirvana long after Cobain died, and still do prefer Pearl Jam and Soundgarden and some others. And down a different pathway I feel Green Day did the same important thing with 90s rock. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RutgersJetFan Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 80s I think you have to give the nod to GnR. 90s are too many to list but gun to head Radiohead. Nirvana had the more impactful singular moment but Radiohead's library from 93 to 2000 is second to none. 2000s belong to TV on the Radio and QOTSA. I'm also partial to Grizzly Bear and it's such a bummer they moved on and don't put out new stuff anymore. Maybe the best live performers I've ever seen. 2010s? Who knows. Odd era for rock. Maybe Tame Impala or something. Deafheaven also killed it. I would personally give the nod to Real Estate but I also realize most don't know who the hell they are. So far as the 2010s it seems like everyone has moved on and the good news is the 2020s have been a killer era for metal so far. Lotta younger bands pushing the genre to some very cool places. Turnstile, Spiritbox...etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenwichjetfan Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Not really bands, but Death Row and Bad Boy labels were definitely the most influential 90s groups in music.

BUM-KNEE Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 The 70s would have to be Sabbath, Zep and AC/DC to a large extent. (Sex Pistols too) The 80s would still be AC/DC and then obviously Dio, Ozzy and Judas Preist. There are others to mention (like Genesis and Peter Gabriel), but I'm short on time. 90s would be Green River who was quite influential of the scene from their work in the late 80s. Tool, Limp Bizkit and Pantera have got to be mentioned here as well. 2000s were when Staind, Flyleaf and Fall Out Boy were huge. Everything is irrelevant to the almighty Exodus though, who are the greatest band of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
