Unique acts/albums

Maccattack

How many acts can we name as being truly ground breaking? Acts that changed the face of music in their time.

Who are the acts that were truly different, the ones that made peoples ears prick up the first time we heard them, then spawned a thousand immitators?

Lets see if we can draw a line from way back all the way up to present day and see who the real innovators are/were.

whos up for it?

Starting point?

Rustar

The Who
Hendrix
Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Yes
Sex Pistols
(large gap.....)
(early) Van Halen
(even larger gap.....)
Nirvana (hate to admit it)
...and it's been dead ever since.

The early chain would be:
Frank Sinatra (believe it or not)
Elvis
Chuck Berry
Beatles

Little known fact:
All of that screaming/fainting of young desperate teenage girls that we associate with Elvis and the Beatles actually started with Sinatra.


There are others that are groundbreaking, such as Zappa, Jethro Tull, and King Crimson, but they didn't change the face of music, since there's never been anything like them before or since.

Ramones
Pixies
