You know, I already responded to this once. If you want to see, it's hanging out in the Best Artist: Round 2: Poll M thread.

Also. If this was about greatness, King Crimson would be indeed the most deserving. They are more influencial than both Metallica and The Doors. Popularity dosen't = influence.

Well that's just my opinion! (If you didn't take the hint, I'm being sarcastic).

Metallica were important in the trash metal scene.

Really? I've never heard of the trash metal scene. Perhaps you could enlighten me.

But King Crimson pretty much started the whole prog rock revolution. There were several artists who were very vital in influencing the genre including The Mothers of Invention and The Moody Blues.

Bill Haley started the rock revolution. What's your point?

But it was King Crimson that defined prog.

And whats wrong with Elliott Smith? Sure he's nothing innovative, but he was a solid songwriter who made some great Beatles-esque tunes.

I've got nothing against Elliott. In fact, I think he's a wonderful artist. In the big picture, it's a very different story. Look at the competition.
I think your misinterpreting me. I love King Crimson and Elliott Smith. I just think that The Doors and Metallica were more important and better bands than the others.
