Greats like: Hendrix, Zeppelin, The Doors and Black Sabbath all had a different style and emphasis in their music that made it original. They influence so many with their sound and composition that it becomes rare to see a band bring a change. Some Artists like Alice Cooper used a gimmick with make-up and shock value to get noticed.
The Dead are doin their scene.
Kiss capitolized and changed music with a huge following that even enticed young kids by their presence. They were the first band to introduce music to fans young as 8 years old either buying their albums or asking Santa for them.
Next, Van Halen drops a bomb!!!!!
Iron Maiden and Judas Priest take Metal to a new level with Maiden's guitars and Priest's insane Vocals.
Then there's;
Devo
the Police
The Cars bringing a "new wave" trend.
Ozzy leaves Sabbath and exposes Randy Rhodes to the world.
AC/DC explodes
All of a sudden, Dudes start wearing make-up, looking like women and playing some Glamm Crap until Metallica "Kill(ed) em All".
Metallica changed music and have influenced many bands playing the Hardcore Thrash style, due to their intensity.
Who's next, Nirvana?
