For me, the most influential artists ever would have to be the Clash, they were probably the most experimental band of the seventies punk movement. They brought in a whole host of other genres to the table (reggae, ska, dub) but kept true to the punk ethics, add to this Joe Strummers and Mick Jones' suberb song writing talents and you have what I, and pretty much every punk/rock band formed since, consider the most influential.
