Been around the music industry along time and without a doubt the Beatles.
Not enough credit is given to their producer though who was truly the 5th member.
The things they did production wise with only a four track recorder is AMAZING!

Which album do you think brought them "into their own" so to speak? I'd say that it was Rubber Soul, although many say that it was Sgt. Peppers.

Elvis probably to start with, but in terms of bands theres no doubting The Beatles.Like someone said, the things they produced with what little technology they had then is astounding.Doesnt matter wether people like the music or not.Theyve influenced almost everyone who picked up a guitar

The biggest two musical acts of the year are Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black. 

Michael Jackson is probably the closest big-name musician.  So we can blame him.

Elvis, Led Zep, Stones et al were just white man packaging for all the awesome blues guys that went before, who are the real influences. They actively plagiarised them at times, which I'm not ripping on them for, but if we're talking abhout "influence"...

The Beatles started ripping off 12 bar blues but became more progressive and actually experimented with making a new sound, which in my book makes them more of a proper influence on today's music, rather than a rehash of Muddy Waters et al like Zeppelin, Stones.

Stevie Wonder deserves a mention since much of today's RnB borrows from him, and Michael Jackson used to sit in on his sessions sometimes. You can hear on tracks like master blaster near the end his vocal delivery is pure michael jackson, he was an idol of Jackson's. That track is an hommage to Bob Marley in turn, who didn't invent reggae so much as popularise it, so where do you start?!?!?!

which band?

i'd say the leather band, aka the whip.

The whip caused negro spirituals, which later on would influence bluesmen like Robert Johnson, who would influence just about all music we came to know as rock and roll (that includes the beatles and Elvis, who as great as he was, made his career off ripping off black folk)

Not only how George Martin produced them, but he also had a classical background IIRC and he added a lot to the sound when they were doing songs such as "Eleanor Rigby" and "In My Life" to mention a couple.

Some say it was "officially" Billy Preston being the fifth Beatle, but that's so far off and untrue. George Martin all the way.

True dat! My fav Beatles album is Abbey Road, which was kinda dominated by Paul and George. George with "Something" and "Here Comes The Sun" and Paul was basically the "solo artist" on side two. And speaking of Stevie Wonder, his album "Innervisions" was revolutionary 8)

Prince influenced a lot of musicians.

Zeppelin ruled them all.

Nirvana influenced a whole new genre that is still around today.  I wasn't a big fan but appreciate them more now than I did back then.

However, even those guys were influenced by Chuck Berry, Elvis, etc... Who were influenced by Jazz, the blues, and Big Band stuff... who were influenced by folk music of the 19th century, who were influenced by classical composers.

Well, most classical music came from ancient gregorian chant... Which are the first documented musical "notes"... But I'm sure the club / cave wall thing is in the history somewhere.

You have quite a grasp on all this.

The jazz mention was a good call. That said, maybe Louis Armstrong deserves recognition as one of the great influences of modern American music.

Can't forget The Who, they defined influential music in the 60's. Really though, all the most recognizable bands of the 1960's were most influential of our time, simply because it was such a revolutionary time with massive cultural and social changes which the music obviously reflected. 60's was epic.

As is often the case, the first post in a thread nails it.

I'll add, that, by far, the most influential rock singer is the great Paul Rodgers.

Among Rock music I would say that without a doubt it is The Beatles.  Otherwise I am partial to the Glen Miller Orchestra, Count Basie and his big band or perhaps Duke Ellington and his group.

But for a band that has the greatest influence on pop culture in the last 50 or so years it is without a doubt the one composed of John, Paul, George and Ringo...   The Beatles.
