      There six musical artists I rank in the top five of Objectively Most Important for Rock: 1) The Beatles 2) Bob Dylan 3) The Rolling Stones 4) The Who 5) TIE: The Byrds/The Velvet Underground. As of next week, @Political_Beats will have covered all of them except The Byrds.

      I do not accept your position that the Velvet Underground was more important than Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin, or Aretha Franklin.

      Better? That's a matter for your personal taste. But more important? Oh hell yes the Velvets were objectively a much greater influence upon what came afterwards than any of them.

      Leaving aside Chuck Berry, who was maybe more influential even than the Beatles, I'm not sure how you see the VU (or the Who, really) as more influential than the Kinks.

          Clearly you are both underestimating the effect of Kinky Friedman

          The Who were hugely influential to both the punk and grunge movements.

          If Buddy Holly influence the Beatles, who influenced nearly everyone else, should he garner some importance cred?

          Yeah, but Chuck influenced EVERYONE. Acts like the Beatles, Beach Boys, Stones, & Seger just ripped him off shamelessly & repeatedly.
