Pop music went from "You're a Pink Toothbrush - I'm a Blue Toothbrush' to 'Tomorrow Never Knows' in just a few short years!

Let's not confuse commercial success with influence... the Kinks were far more diverse, inventive and adventurous than the Stones ever were. Thus, they have gone to influence many artists in many different genres. They almost invented power chord music, and guitar distortion (at least they helped popularizing it), igniting all the punk and heavy metal music scene that came after them. You'll find tons of punk and alternative bands that will mention the Kinks as an influence, but were in no way influenced by the Stones. You'll also find lots of folk and indie musicians for whom the Kinks were a huge influence, but not the Stones. C'mon, they were even influencing the Beatles and the Who at the time. Don't get me wrong, the Stones are one of my favourite bands, and overall they're probably a better rock band than the Kinks, but as much as I love them, they didn't change music that much despite their success (like the Beatles or the Who did).

You need to look at Kate contextually and figure whiy I said female. It isn't to debase or misrepresent her achievements but her story and succes and even her originiality is compounded by her gender as she was the first female to achieve and do what she did. Does that make her more original than Bowie , nope because she came after and he had led the foreground. But Kate was the first female to do what she did and is as such the best and most original female artist ever. Does it negate any of her achievements nope, does it better them nope. No need to get hung up on the use of the word female.

Well, the Roses weren't as influential as Oasis. They made their mark in the late-80s, and declined quickly. The Baggy subculture quickly got taken over by the acid-dance scene. Oasis made a much bigger cultural impact than the Roses did, therefore making them more influential. This isn't in a malicious way, I love both Oasis and the Roses, but when it comes to influence, Oasis are much more notable. And Radiohead just as influential than Oasis? You're having a laugh.

Kate Bush should've been in the Top 3 easily. When she broke onto the scene, she was the first woman to write her own debut song and make it a number one single in the British charts. From then on, she pretty much solidified the idea that women could control their own musical careers. By her fourth album, she'd taken entire control of her music from writing to producing. Pretty much every female pop star's career has been influenced by her success, even if they don't know it. No female recording artist was doing what she did before her, not even Madonna. Then the fact that she has some of the best written lyrics you can find is just the cherry on top. On top of being successful, she's immeasurably talented. The second side of Hounds of Love is easily the best piece of prog pop ever written. The fact that people have referred to her as the female David Bowie says enough about where she should've been placed in this list.

Pink Floyd and The Beatles have been the most influential in my life .....

Lonnie Donegan. He led the Skiffle Craze which started the career of every single British musician from the 1957 til 1975.

Motorhead over Sabbath, Lemmy was brilliant at music and lyrics. Sex Pistols, one album but so much power......how the hell can they not be on the list? Definitely more important than the Clash.

If we talk about "influence" and not about musical skill in writing, the musical work of moody blues or king crimson is the basis of British and world prog rock. In particular, king crimson is a very underrated pillar of music, which has literally renewed rock raising it to something more cultured.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!The Beatles had to be number one.

Cant believe they left out Led Zeppelin. They are the Hammer of the Gods! Ironically they rock harder than the Rolling Stones. Even Tommy Iommi cites them as an inspiration and influence on Black Sabbath. Influenced hard rock and long haired rock to both sides of the globe! I think it needs to be a Top 20 to include Roxy Music/Bryan Ferry, Sex Pistols, The Cure, Joy Division/New Order, Stone Roses, Radiohead, The Who.

Thank you for including Kate Bush. In the U.S., she's only remembered by die-hard fans. Which is unfortunate since her influence on female performers are still seen to this day. Probably the closest U.S. equivalent to Kate Bush would be Carol King.

Shame there aren't any honourable mentions, because there are at least another 20 who could have been mentioned, but the top 2 I would have been happy either way around, both Bowie and the Beatles were absolutely revolutionary, both had immense musical and cultural influence, and both are still hugely popular to this day

Whether it's indirect or not, try and find a girl with a piano or guitar who isn't inspired or indirectly inspired by Kate Bush in MOST genres.

kazabushy what were the 2 most played, most sung, most chanted, most blasted through sporting events and most covered on guitar songs in the 90’s throughout GB?? 2 Oasis songs so love them or hate them that’s impact and influence. More than any in the decade

an objective list

Bowie died 2 years ago ? It felt like the other day. Just shows how much impact his music still has.

The Jam????

No way, David Bowie is first. Sure The Beatles are more well-known, but Bowie's influence spanned more in almost every aspect of life since his rise.

Tbf mate, don't get me wrong, Radiohead are one of the, if not the, greatest band of all time. But I feel that oasis were probably more influential, especially to more mainstream acts

Radiohead created Muse and Coldplay. So.....

I understand why the Beatles are #1 but I will go to my grave believing David Bowie was more influential.

John Summers You're going to the grave believing something wrong. I absolutely love both, but influence and innovation go to the Beatles _easily_. They're the reason anyone on this list is successful, not to mentioj everything they did after '64

@Jim McCracken Bowie influence is global too. He isn't more popular than The Beatles, but he influenced more artistic areas.

@Jim McCracken But this isn't opinion. Bowie was influence to more musical genders and visual styles, also to fashion and characters and Internet. The Beatles were very influencial, it's difficult to say.

The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, The Clash, Motörhead, David Bowie, The Who, Sex Pistols and many many others. Britain Has truly greatest Music all over the World!❤️

Yes yes yes I totally agreee

WHERE IS LED ZEPPELIN

Most people inspired by Oasis are inspired by The Beatles as well. Oasis helped set a trend in the 90's musically, but it's hard to say 100% that people are inspired by Oasis and not another band in the 90's similar to them.

sitvisjes strokes and even the killers. Weezer was also kind of influenced in 2001 because Rivers Cuomo said he was listening to a lot of Oasis back then and even tried to sing like Liam in some of the songs.

I feel so sad because nobody talks about the genius Syd Barrett, who co-founded Pink Floyd, he inspired David Bowie, he created one of the best psychedelic albums in the world, after he was kicked out from the band, they also used his image to make the Wish you were here album, the dark side of the moon, and the wall. I should mention that beside Bowie there were some other singers and bands that were inspired by his creativity and post punk influence, but like he said For me the best one, always shine, Syd crazy diamond Barrett.

Beatles were always going to crush that one... however Bowie is the most influential individual artist as his influence encompassed music, fashion and gender politics over decades... revolutionary, and sadly missed... RIP

Depeche Mode?

cristobalradio Yeah, really

The NME list is better than this

Just as a note the title says musicians, not bands. That being said, Elton John, Tom Jones, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull and Deep Purple. Not to forget Procul Harum.

The Jam, The Who, The Kinks?? The Mod scene whaaaat
