Most influential album of all time

For rock, definitely Elvis or the Beatles. For music in
general, fuck if I know.

music is allll about personal preferance. The idea of a
thread asking what is the most influencial is stupid. The
only way one could answer that for sure would be to take the
set of people making music worldwide (good luck on compiling
that) and then somehow delve into their minds and draw forth
the album(s) that were the most influencial to them (simply
asking them wouldn't suffice). Let you take this list
(couple of billion entries at the least) and first the slbum
the crops up the most. And what do you have ? The most
influencial album ever. I why would you want to know ? Fuck
knows ? Music is about emotion. You only listen to it
because it produces an emotional response that on some lvl
you enjoy. You don't listen to it because others listen to
it or are influenced by it and if you do then shame on
you!!!

"The idea of a
thread asking what is the most influencial is stupid"

why do people analyse everything all of a sudden? when
people ask what's the best rock album or best idm album,
people just answer their favorite release without asking
questions.

people have got to stop taking everything so seriously. the
sake of this thread was to create a discussion on
influential albums. if you really expected this thread to
find out precisely what the most inflential album ever
really is, than than it's not the thread that's stupid.

and btw, if you wanted to really find out what that album
would be, you wouldnt have to go through the minds of
EVERUONE. ever heard of surveys? it's a statistical tool
that's between 95 and 99.9% accurate.

just wanted to clear that out!

I conducted a study last night, asking 6 billion people
(give or take a few), and the findings are conclusive.

The Beatles- Sgt. Pepper=most influential album ever.

For electronic music I know for sure that the most
influential artist of all time was kraftwerk.
But I was born in '86 so I haven't experienced the first
years of kraftwerk.
Same goes for the whole question: Most influential album of
all time. I dunno, I haven't experienced the beatles etc in
their years so I can't tell.

I don't care what you say ask the majority of the people
what album influenced them the most and they will say one of
the beatles album

The beatles while simple, did things that changed the way
music was played, they broke out of that box...did
experimental things that was not being done at that
particular time, I think the fact that you don't like rock
has influenced your jaded opinion.

Plaid - Rest Proof Clockwork
Sigur Rós - Ágætis Byrjun
Squarepusher- Hard Normal Daddy

So do I! But Revolver is more ''important''. The White Album
is my favorite thing ever done by humans.

the most influencial album to me is drukqs because that's
the album that really inspired me to start making music and
the album that hooked me on electronic music.

but the most influencial album for everyone is

Led Zeppelin - 4

hmmm...I dunno....I thought breakbeat originally comes from
black music. Breakbeat is the foundation of DnB ---> drill
'n bass ----> IDM-ish

I see a link here
