On kerrang the other day there was a top 100 most influencial musicians in rock history.
And number 1, was AC/DC.
Now I like AC/DC in all, but I defiantly don't agree with that..
Personally I think bands like The Clash, The sex pistols or Queen are.

The Clash and Sex Pistols definitely, as my Dad always says: 'If bands like the Clash or Sex Pistols didn't exist, the bands you like now wouldn't be half as popular or wouldn't even be around'.
i think the beatles are.
It depends on what 'influential' means. There's influential as in musically, and influential as in make you want to write music. Like Queen inspired a long list of bands to become musicians, but there arent many decent bands that took the sound of Queen. They only one I can think of is Muse, and thats only slightly.
Id say that R.E.M. is the most influential band ever.
Ew @ AC/DC
Guns n' Roses soz
I would say - Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones and Guns N' Roses. The first of their kind. ;)
Queen and Pink floyd for me :D
