    Some of you guys need to study the history of

    When I see artists like the Isley Brothers, Sly Stone, Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett and the like given very little respect, I start to wonder how many how many of you guys really have a knowledge of the history of music.

    Some of you may consider this "playing a race card", but, I consider it being truthful.

    Most of what you listen to today was influenced by black musicians. Guys like Waters, Chuck Berry, and the Isleys have had their styles copied by many white artists.

    I'll grant you that I like AC/DC. But, to say that one great album was better than the Supremes "entire catalog" is a bunch of BS.

    I think anyone who likes AC/DC under any circumstances is suspect.

      Can I add Queen to that list too?

        I think if the poll was about who was more influential, instead of who do you like better, the results would be different.

          Yeah, you can toss in Queen. Can't think of a single Queen song that survives "scan" when it comes on.

          But then, I never listen to the radio in STL anyway.

            I don't even know what race of most of those people are.

            I don't care what their "influence" was.

            Is this about "most influential" or "who do you like to listen to more" ?

            I think you need to start a contest about "most influential" - otherwise, Curtis Mayfield loses to pretty much anyone.

            It's like I said - in video games, do you favor Pong or Madden 2004?

            There would be no Madden 2004 without Pong, but that doesn't mean you sit around playing Pong.

              Anyone who voted against Rod Stewart has an acceptable level of musical knowledge.
              I'm always right.

                You've unknowingly endorsed my musical knowledge.

                    If you want to talk about history let's go back even more. How about putting Son House, Robert Johnson, Bukka White and Skip James in the tournament? That'll teach the musical heathens!

                    This shit's all subjective.

                      The most influential music was made by Caucasian males from the early 11th century to present. It's called classical music, and it is the basis for all things you hear now...
