The Doors: Am I joke to you?
They make good music yes.
FOR REAL
Dude they are just right behind the Beatles for me
This list is about "influential bands".I think The Doors are one of the best bands of all time but I could hardly admit that they influenced any other bands,except maybe Inspiral Carpets.
@@matthewwillard2047 no no no
Those Led Zeppelin guys sound like Greta van Fleet!!!! A year later and everyone is still getting triggered by my joke. This is hilarious!
nmlss “you don’t have those long guitar solos and strange drums”😂. Led Zeppelin is like Black Sabbath 2.0 for Heavy Metal
The Quinning - Sir, you've just won the Sarcasm Award. :D
Lol
Actually, it's the other way round. Greta Van Fleet sounds like Led Zepplin.
The Quinning lmao
And two of these bands are not YET in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame!!!!
Which of them?
@@mareky505 Motorhead. Judas Priest. both of them belong in the R&R Hall of Fame!!!
@ThatsRaidillonActually And Madonna lol
@@nenad6278 I would rather listen to kittens getting stomped on by Tupac, than listen to Madonna. Lol!
and then there is beatles with each member as rock and roll hall of fame
Just want to say , the unholy trinity in 70’s : Deep Purple , Led Zeppelin , Black Sabbath. :)
Aldi Agung it seems obvious the person who made the list grew up a huge fan of metal. Putting Sabbath and Zeppelin on should have precluded any other metal bands. To each their own I guess.
They were the most influential alongside the beatles, elvis and little richard. Punk was not even close to being as big as zeppelin
Bener ngaco semua ini bang list nya..
Pink Floyd, Ramones, rolling stones, kiss, the Beatles bukan band metal

“In 1971, there were only three bands that mattered; Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Deep Purple.” - Joe Elliot
He's trippin'
The Who?
Well i think he forgot about bands like Yes, King crimson, Zappa with the Mothers of Invention. There where enough bands that "mattered" back then.
The Doors were also pretty relevant. Should have made the list as well.
And that’s what you call personal choice and an opinion. Nothing wrong with it I say. People need to realise this. Just because I don’t like Motley Crüe it doesn’t mean other have to follow me. They have their own opinion. I’m cool with it.
I wonder how could Ramones be more influential then Led Zeppelin.
For the very act of actually starting a band, Ramones have definitely been more influential on that front.
Pink Floyd didnt start a genre, they popularized it, Ramones were a boom in the music scene that werent like any other in 1976-1977
John Waters Ramones started punk
How could the Ramones be more influential than the rolling stones who turned America back onto American blues artists like muddy waters,bb king,howling wolf were in obscurity till the stones covered their songs the next thing these artists are selling out venues.
58 years later mick and the boys still going,they have influenced countless acts,rock,pop,country, blues,ballards they have made music in every genre
Michael Jackson Ramones didn’t start Punk, Punk started in Britain and made its way to America and the Ramones popularized it.It is thought they started it cuz of them being the most well known Punk band😁
I feel like KISS were more of a stylistic influence than a musical one.
Agreed
yea technically the only way they really influenced the genre was by bringing huge arena shows with pyrotechnics into it.
Yes I agree, I only like Detroit rock city from them
How many songs do you know about Kiss?
@@spodeiok429 how many songs have you listened from kiss? Have you ever listened something like "cold gin" or "deuce" or "love gun"
I love the top 3
- Ramones: main punk influnce
- Black Sabbath: main metal influence
- The Beatles: main influence on everything!
Everything, is Justin Bieber influenced by Beatles??
@@YesMan-uy4cjprobably yeah he bastardised the hair cut
@@Planet_Caravan_94 🐏
Who are "The Beatles"
I think someone needs to look up the word, ‘influential’.
Agreed, these are all great bands, but influence means something more.
I think they meant to make the most influential at number 15
Benjamin Lees lmao no
I mean, in just about every interview with modern bands, a lot of these artists come up as influences. Influence can be subtle or direct so.
Another stupid list by a millennial who doesn't know an influential band from his ass!
I really think they just put the Beatles at number 1 and drew the rest randomly out of a hat.
Well to be fair how else would you make such a list? There's hundreds of bands out there all massively influential and pretty much impossible to rank. How do you rank every breath of air you've taken? Without multiple of those breathes you suffocate but they are all too equally important to not see each as equal.
@@genericwhitekidthesecond4330 everyone with a little of music culture will say that the list is too random. The list should have made by influence. There are clearly ones more important that the other, you like it or not
Its not top 15 its only 15 most, so its not ranked anything
To be fair, queen, black sabbath and Metallica are bothe pretty influential
Well I mean black sabbath basically invented metal
I’m not even done watching the video and it’s obvious that the Beatles are #1
As Alice Cooper said everybody was influenced by somebody but everybody was influenced by the Beatles
As it should be. The Beatles were pure magic. Truly lightning captured in a bottle.
Who else?
The Beatles didn't invent lots of their musical ideas and were attributed to them when all they did is recycle these ideas from the underground scene. I'd say the most influential band of all rock music is The Velvet Underground, who paved the way for most genres and bands that came after them and not just that, but also broke every border for creativity and freed musicians from record labels, sales and stardom, and hence inventing the concept of alternative music.
Julian Leil ah ah ah!!!!
Bowie:
* Laughs in Glam Rock, Folk, Pop, New Wave, Soul, Funk, Jungle, Industrial, Electro, Jangle Pop, Art Rock, Krautrock, Hard Rock, Post-Punk, Progressive, Alt - Rock *
Despite his multiple personas he wasn't actually a band !
@@Morphstock exactly.
I HOPE these bands aren't considered to be in order...
Numer 1 and 2 are in order
Can we agree that Pink Floyd are way too low?
Ffs tell me where you find "top" on the title
number 1 is in order
Same. MetallicA at #11 and Motörhead at #13 is crazy as. Rolling Stones at #5 Black Sabbath #2 then #1 is the Beatles.
no Iron Maiden really?
Well if you compare it with the first 5 they were more mainstream than maiden but maybe I would have put it instead of Motorhead.
yeah maybe
Maiden instead of Judas Priest!
Whatever Judas Priest is better and was way more influential. Priest influenced maiden by the way
Whatever there wouldn’t be an Iron Maiden without Judas Priest
Venom, as the creators of extreme metal, deserved a high spot.
Venom just influenced black metal maniacs
@@rodrigofranca9787 Nah, they made the first ever album that can be classified as 'Extreme Metal' in 1981. They introduced harsh gutteral yelling and guitar brutality to Metal alongside the dark image.
I would say Slayer made the first really extreme metal albums. Like, Metallica already existed, but Slayer were darker, faster, heavier, louder, and much, MUCH more evil sounding.
@@moncalimarimoncalimari8964 Nah, the first 2 Venom records were def heavier than the first Slayer record that came out a year after the second Venom record. Although musically similar Cronos from Venom had far far more extreme and dark vocals which sound far closer to Extreme Thrash, Death or Black Metal than Tom's fairly clean yelling, even on Hell Awaits.
So... Apparently The Ramones are more influential than: The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and Jimi Hendrix. Like come on, no.
They are they inspired many people
I am not saying they were better than led Zeppelin or hendrix
@@samfisher9562 Ramones inspired a lot but led zeppelin has an influence on every band
@@samfisher9562 how did they inspire more? They inspired a small portion of music but zeppelin inspired every single band to come after them
I think the fact that the Ramones are so high is because they literally started an entire genre. Now I know how people like to mention bands like the stooges and death, but I personally feel it just isn’t at the same level. The Ramones started in 74’. When they first they first toured England in 76, it was really the first time anyone heard punk music around there. Later that year some of the first singles would be released if the British punk scene. But, the Ramones really influenced every single band to come after them in the punk genre. Even the sub genres like hardcore or horror had the influence present. Now, I am going to assume that you don’t know much about the Ramones, and instead like the other bands you mentioned. Even those kind of lack the influence that you claim. For one, I don’t know why the stones are really on here. I mean, you don’t really hear about who were influenced by the stones in their music. And if you do say they created the genre of blues rock, there were many other bands doing it as well at the time, and before them. I don’t think that they had much as an impact as the other bands mentioned but were just a cog in the big machine that was rock at the time. Zeppelin was influential, yes, but not as much as you make them out to be. They did take rock to a harder place at the time, but other 60’s psych bands were creating just as heavy music at the time. I also think Black Sabbath is a much better band to say created hard rock and metal, as they are the first metal band. The only one that I could slightly agree with you on is Hendrix, but at the same time I feel as if it is a little weak. Yes, Hendrix was out of this world with his playing, and anyone who came after tried to mimic his style. But at the same time, the genre of psych rock was around even before him. A band like cream or the yardbirds were doing stuff as early as 66’. To conclude, AI think you are comparing artistic skill and popularity instead of musical pioneering. In this case, I would put the Ramones higher than anyone else, just for the simple fact that they were the first true band in their genre, and basically created punk as well. Not to say the other bands aren’t good, I am a massive zeppelin and Hendrix fan. But the Ramones are just such a special band at a time where nothing matched them in their intensity and sound.
I think there’s a band called cream
Ya some new pop boyband or smthin....
Otto Licht nah that was just a dream
people still think zeppelin or sabbath invented the hard rock sound...
Yeah there was
Yess
Thank God Nickelback is at #1. They so deserve it.
Yeah they influence you what not to do in your band
Im asking this seriously, as an older woman whonis behind the times. Why does everyone rag on Nickelback? Ive heard a few of their songs, so I don't know much about them.
Excuse my typo.
@D clements Chad Kroeger is a dick!! Thats a polite way to put it. Look up most hated bands or ppl in rock music. Chad Kroeger is the poster boy for self obsession and all round dickery!! I know that aint a word but it should be
@George Glass LoL, good I of many millions would prefer they stay off of pretty much everything, including planet Earth. They can have their own planet as long as it's a different one then me.
Venom: set the foundation for thrash metal and black metal
Also Venom: isn't on this list
They are so underrated, that’s really sad, like... i really love them, and they made thrash metal as it is now, why do people underestimate their influence?
What about AC-DC
Thank you for nominating deep purple. Ritchie blackmore is was a phenomenal influence for all metal Rock guitar players in the 70es and 80ies. He is a bit often forgotten today

The fact that The Who didn't even made the list makes this list absolutely irrevalent.
The fact that Slade isn't on this list speaks volumes, especially when you consider that most of the bands on this list (along with countless others) cite them as being an influence.
No king Crimson, no early Genesis, no Japan, no Zappa, this compilation is a pile of shite, it’s just the uploaders favourite rock bands ffs.
Vinay Chhetri it’s true The Who started everything
Vinay Chhetri not necessarily these were influential. The Who needs to be on it and even though I’m not the biggest fan the Grateful Dead. They inspired a ton of jam bands

actually it was tomorrow never knows that started the psychedelic movement, on the revolver record.
Influential does not mean popular.
ataberk YAVAŞ yes it does. If you aren't popular how can you inspire many people?
nick ;-; it’s not about how many people you inspire, it how many of the people you have inspired are talented and will make good music in the future.
Ярослав Чечель wrong by definition
nick ;-; how come? Those things have a correlation but popularity does not necessarily lead to a band becoming influential. Neither Rihanna, nor Pit Bull are very influential, yet sell hundreds of millions of records.
Ярослав Чечель you're right about that. Being popular doesn't make you influential but in order to be one of the MOST influential artist you need to be popular
Aerosmith? Maiden? ACDC? The Who? Wtf...
Who do you propose taking out of the list to incorporate those bands? Every single one on the list was pretty damn influential
The Beatles
IKR?
Well who inspired those bands, this list is subjective theres alot of other bands you can put in here
Joke list .... no u2 ac/dc iron maiden.
The who played at Woodstock ffs , a tad more influential the Van Halen methinks . Nirvana makes it but no Sex Pistols ...the greatest influence on grunge .

It's because they invented a genre and a whole culture like Black Sabbath.
I'm amazed how low priest is.
They created punk rock, jackass, and killed disco at the same time. Hundreds of bands came along just because of them. They completely changed the musical landscape.

Yeah, but they were the ones that spread it all over the globe. I read an interview of someone that said that everywhere the Ramones went, a dozen punk bands were created.
Thrash metal and Punk were all influenced by the Ramones
Because of Ramones young kids who couldn't play more than 3 chords picked up an instrument and start their own band, meaning that you do not have to be as good as David Gilmour on guitar to make great music. Ramones position is totally deserved.

They sought to combine art and rock, using "auto destruction" and volume almost as a weapon, some of the most innovative bass c/o Entwistle, Drums, c/o Moon, Guitar, and early use of synthesizer c/o Townsend, and everything they did was vastly different to their previous work, always trying to push and push, sometimes beyond their limits (Lifehouse) I may be a Sad Old Goth, but its the WHO that anchor it all, anyone else is just an "as well"!

No way Judas Priest is more influential than deep purple. Deep purple inspired everyone
Judas priest helped spark the new wave of heavy metal, spearheaded by iron maiden, pantera etc. If it werent for them, heavy metal wpuld’ve remained to its blues rock instead of evolve to what it is today
Dafyd Maddz IMO priest is the reason Sabbath fell. Even before Ozzy left, Sabbath were outdated by Priest’s faster and more aggressive style of metal.
Judas Priest made metal a mainstream thing. Last time I checked, deep purple was just an offbrand blue oyster cult

Most of the picks here are at least arguable. Most people would agree on #1. You can argue Black Sabbath at #2(although I'd disagree), BUT The Ramones? I just don't see that-higher than Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, Hendrix??
that's a metal-influenced list, and for metal, Sabbath is Nº1...
I agree but the ramones created punk
William Robinson they a long with the sex pistols which I believe they should be on the list higher than the ramones inspired an entire generation of diy
@@MrGrimmiefan Iggy Pop is the godfather of punk, he had a huge impact on The Ramones.
@@thebestskier8629 no the sex pistols did
No AC/DC really???
Top 3 should be the unholy trinity.., deep Purple Led zeppelin and black sabbath
How is Judas Priest higher than Pink Floyd
because judas priest just is
@@zebfail480 for metal yes. Anything else, no way
It's a not a TOP 15 list...
It's just random list
The question is why is Pink Floyd there
Why isn't Cream on this?
I was asking myself the same question...
Because they were a mediocre, overrated flash in the pan.
@@unevenspleener shut up wanker
You're kidding, right? What about Ginger Baker? Easily one of the greatest drummers ever
@@unevenspleener the list is meant to be about influential bands,jack bruce influenced countless bassist, ginger Baker was a MASSIVE influence on most drummers and Eric Clapton inspired loads of guitarists OF COURSE cream should be on the list
Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Beatles.
I've never seen black Sabbath so high on a list like this. Though not a fanatic ("fan"), i will listen and appreciate and agree that they are one of the most influential bands. So many genres have been sparked by their fire.
Since when Loudwire hates IRON MAIDEN?
Maiden's over rated
joey wheeler meu ovo
joey wheeler well, the title doesn't say top underrated bands...
Yanivush147 since the ranking of all maiden songs
The Fuck you talking about? They put Maiden in about every list they can, been objetive Iron Maiden wasn´t as influential as Sabbath Priest or after them Metallica, that doesnt mean Maiden ain´t influential.
Black sabbath, the doors, led zeppelin
Dont forget about guns n roses, the kinks, the who
@@totusfloreo5126 oh yes sure, obviously
Death
@@andrei1151 Black Sabbath were an underrated gem - but Zep is ...well.......
@@andrei1151 Agree!
Hell yeah! Black Sabbath is top 5 🤟
And ozzy is one of the biggest fan of the Beatles. The song she loves you changed his life. He knew he would be a rock star when he heard this song. And when he met Paul Mac cartney for the first time, it is like he saw God. And The ramones why they took this name? From Paul Ramon so we can see the Beatles ´influences .
My 15 most influential bands (in no particular order)
Led Zeppelin
Black Sabbath
Alice Cooper
AC/DC
Iron Maiden
Motörhead
Pink Floyd
Queen
Nirvana
Guns N’ Roses
Pearl Jam
Slipknot
Metallica
Megadeth
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Maybe no slipknot in that place should be hedrix or van halen but is ok
Any list of influential bands has to include the Velvet Underground.
King Crimson, early Genesis, Rush, mahavishnu orchestra, Zappa, I could go on, this guys just done his own faves band list up?!
Yeah. We got Bowie and Eno from VU and then soo many others. Kraftwerk invented a genre and no one talks about them.
Iamman i upload 5 times a day for 6 months I think The Stooges were more influential than the Ramones as far as punk goes
@AAAnt M great album by crimson. Quite possibly my favorite line-up. Fripp (in my opinion) is quite possibly one of the greatest guitarists ever. Jimi Hendrix said Fripp was great. 50 years of musical innovations.
@AAAnt M bruford and fripp is a match made in heaven. Too bad Bill retired. Now Crimson has 3 drummers and it doesn't even compare to Bruford hitting the skins. YES's Fragile (bruford plays the drums on it) was my first introduction to Prog Music. I loved it so much, I at one point, listened to it 5 times a day lol. I'm surprised my brother didn't kill me.
Where a The Doors ?!?!?!?!?!?
Xander Pas ,wow what a poser comment .. The Doors have crazy amount of better songs than those 3 you mentioned ..
@Spork Spatula Metallica 1988. Joke. 😂
Yo wesley , first i wouldnt even comment about doors if i havent had clue what i was talking about .. please.. second ,do you really think a 12 year old follows this kind of channel ? 😂
I think that the Doors are one of the most important band in rock history
And The Smiths. And maybe Eagles
Judas Priest right above Pink Floyd is unacceptable
You’d be stupid not adding Linkinpark on this list
AC/DC and Iron Maiden ?
Idk about AC DC, who could they have really inspired?
righttackle52 AC/DC influenced Def Leppard for sure and many others!
ACDC Influenced Dave Mustaine
Airborn, Accept, Krokus, Molly hatchet, Nazareth, and the list goes on.....
@@righttackle52 guns n roses, metallica...
Pink Floyd at 9?
Queen at 7?
The Rolling stones and The Ramones above both?
What kind of list is this?
A list of the most influential bands, as in bands that inspired and influenced the most musicians. Hundreds of bands were formed because of the Ramones. They help created a new genre of music and kill off disco.
Stones is justified, Ramones do need to be lower.
It says 15 most influential bands not top 15 most influential bands
Tbh queen kinda sucks they made one song that was decent at best and that was Bohemian Rhapsody, other than that they have pretty forgettable songs
Andrew White Some might say overrated, overplayed, etc., but "Forgettable" is nowhere near the word to describe songs like We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Another One Bites The Dust and other songs like that which pretty much everyone knows.
Their early material is actually quite underrated. The "Queen II" album is like a sea of "Bohemian Rhapsody"s.
"Influential" is not the same as good. With that in mind, the Bee Gees belong on this list, because they helped kick off the disco trend that utterly destroyed radio in the mid 70s. Nirvana belongs on this list, because they launched the flannel apocalypse that replaced hair "metal" as the next annoying trend. Virtuoso guitar solos were eliminated, and clean vocals were replaced with scratchy-voiced angsty whining . Whichever cross-dressers started the trend of sound-alike hair-"metal" bands belong on this list. Whoever started the cookie-monster trend that replaced singing and destroyed metal belongs on this list as well.
The winner for the most influential (in a bad way) would have to be Cher. Her song "Believe" was patient-zero. It was the first to use autotune.
You are correct. The bee gees do belong.
Ringo was really beating the shit out of that drum set at the end there
No Elvis? That man is the undisputed KING of Rock n Roll.
Also why are the Ramones higher than Led Zeppelin? Sure, the Ramones kickstarted Punk as a legit music genre, but in terms of influence, I think most rockers strive to emulate Led Zeppelin over the Ramones.
Mike Burns Influential B A N D S
Damn....good point
Mike Burns not to mention Zeppelin themselves inspired the Ramones with Communication Breakdown
Then how about Buddy Holly and his Crickets?
They were the authentic soul of the classic rock&roll
Elvis was not only a rock singer, but also made blues, gospel and country music. So we can't bind him as a rock singer only. Maybe that's why he isn't in this list. But that he was the King, no doubt. I love his voice and realize why my grandfather was such a big fan of him. Such music will never be made and Elvis Presley will take his place next to Vivaldi, Mozart, Beethoven and Verdi. Or I think he already has, because he's in every music textbook.
What about Nickel.... Oops nevermind
Nickelback Is Better Than Zeppelin
It was a joke..... obviously 😐
Can anyone tell me why tf nickelback is tha most hated band?
@@metalfishtv4568 Nickleback BLOWS CHUNKS!
Let me guess, vou probably like "Creed" too huh
@@sbking74 Nickleback isn't even better than MY CRACK!
Guns N' Roses?
Death?
Sex Pistols?
Black Flag?
Aerosmith?
Ministry?
AC/DC?
Death isn't influential 😂
I like Judas Priest but they should definitely not be ahead of Metallica, Van Halen and Pink Floyd.
how judas priest is above pink floyd is something I’ll never understand
I don't think it's chronological
@mksrookies especially Maiden
they started NWOBHM, the most important metal act in history, wile PF just popularized a genre
Because they are better
