In terms of making ambitious music, Pink Floyd are by far and away the most influential band of all time. That doesn't mean they are the most out there but I can't think of many bands who don't list PF as a favourite at some point.

Metallica, Floyd and of course Zeppelin. I think Husker Du influenced alot more bands than people realize as well, I don't hear these guys get enough props.

Not a band but Touch 'n Go Records was heavily influential on the grunge movement and the popularization of alternative music.....
Oh my god, I'm so bland and lame. I am not very good at contributing to this forum. Somebody ban me or something, I may as well be a troll.
