Influence
This is something that always gets thrown around by classic rock fanboys and sane people alike... influence. I was just on Facebook, and saw the same old "if The Beatles never came along your favorite band wouldn't exist" spiel. I'm not going to discredit The Beatles here, but if they hadn't come along, surely someone else would have that would have broken the same ground they did. I believe my favorite bands, or at least similar ones would have come along regardless of the existence of this manifestation, if you will, of musical ground being broken.
Thoughts?
