I think I agree with the majority of what you've said there. The band that becomes most well known out of a scene is usually going to be the most influential, but of course that doesn't mean there...

You're correct, it is hard to ascertain who did something first, and yes - influence is hard to properly measure. Nobody is disputing that. When I talk about influence, I prefer to think of it as...
