What's your favorite artist/song/album/whatev that influenced no one?

markely, but i mention them for everything

ok, im back and i have more effort so heres a few more:

miko mission

renee renee

alphaville

frou frou

the sounds

BQ: harlem, i used to live in manhattan

Transatlantic.

They are like the culmination of influence, as in they are influenced by so much (Classical, Jazz, the 70's Progressive Rock scene, Melodic Pop (Beatles, Brian Wilson etc.) Folk, Hard Rock), but I can't imagine they will influence many bands (yeah, perhaps some random modern prog bands but nothing noteworthy).

They are more of an "end-result" than a band which leads to all kinds of new ideas, but that is perfectly fine... I'm not sure how much can be innovated anymore in music anyway.

Avenged Sevenfold

BQ: Brooklyn

i in my view pay attention greater Radiohead in Coldplay than something. Porcupine Tree advance into for sure stimulated by utilizing pink Floyd and that i latterly heard some Tangerine Dream songs and that does seems to have stimulated Porcupine Tree's older artwork. you additionally pays attention greater of a Radiohead impact (lyrically a minimum of) in a number of their mid albums (Lightbulb solar, stupid Dream) and their greater moderen textile that's greater cutting-part steel, you pays attention some Dreasm Theater and Opeth in there. Radiohead sounds rather like taking each and every option band that advance into deemed great and then rolling it right into a ball, then spill radioactive acid on them. Their early artwork advance into truthfully stimulated by utilizing The Pixies, REM, talking Heads etc.

The Disrupters - Playing With Fire album - Anarcho punk with a sort of goth feel. The singer can't sing, the band can only just play, and they're quite slow and plodding on this album. They do have fans but nobody seems to like this album, including the band themselves. It's one of my favourite albums ever.

Defiantly Steely Dan but I am influenced by them very talented Band. Walter Becker is a great Guitar Player but he is so Underrated and Donald Fagen is a great Vocalist but very Underrated.

The fourth Oasis album

Bonus: Brooklyn

Nada- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFPDv8o3t7Q

these took influences including Swans, Godflesh, The Young Gods, Dead Can Dance etc and morphed themselves into something quite unique...'Celmetra' is an amazing album... allsorts going on, lots of different instrumentation, moods, atmospheres etc.

i don't believe enough people heard the band to be influenced! (try to find info about them on the net... it's nigh on impossible! criminally overlooked band...)

having said that, they have potential to influence... if i ever pick up my guitar again ;)

Styx.

BA: Since Manhattan is not a viable option, Brooklyn.

Promise - Jale:

I think in the grand musical scheme of things, they were around for about 20 seconds.

BQ: Gotta go with Queens...that's where my family is from.
