With my previous thread i felt that i in many ways covered the rock scene of the 1960's with The Beatles and The Rolling Stones in my mind being the definitive musical acts of the 60's.
So now moving into the 70's with their successors (and i use that term lightly.)
Led Zeppelin has influenced every single hard rock and heavy metal band that is around today, their sophisticated songs which heavily borrowed aspects of reggae, rnb, rock n roll and middle eastern music is still to this day as fresh as they were upon release.
Pink Floyd redefined what the idea of a concept album meant with their elaborate live shows and mature, and theme-heavy songs and albums they are still to this day held in high regard as one of the most futuristic and inspired musical acts.
If it wasn't for either of these bands today's music would be completely different.
