Regarding Medogsfat's entry: I'm sorry, I love British music but this is just Rose tinted spectacles! Sorry Chris. Only a few US artist to be classed as influential...ha! I won't go into all the influences American music has been responsible, but heres a few (and some that didn't even make the artist much money!): Derrick May / Kenny Larkin / Juan Atkins: developed Detroit techno, blueprint for all current electronic chart acts, including Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk etc; Labradford / Smyglyssna / John Hughes / Drexiya: developed IDM, influenced current Warp / Ninja Tunes / Vertical Form leftfield electronic label acts; Nirvana / Pearl Jam / Rage Against The Machine / Red Hot Chilli Peppers influencing current Indie rock; Beastie Boys / MF Doom / De La Soul / Wu Tang Clan influencing current Hip Hop  / Trip Hop acts. This doesn't even start to investigate The Beach Boys and Stevie Wonders influence on current UK artists such as Ian Brown, John Squires, etc... I think you get my point...I'll get my coat!

Puncher:

I used to watch Corrie religiously (and i don't mean i used to wear a cassock sitting in front of the TV) - but now i've totally lost interest!

Don't get me started on EastEnders though! - If you paid them a pound a smile, you'd have change from a fiver after 20 episodes!

😐 

I neglected to say earlier that I include soaps with Jungle, Brother, Factors!

jandyt:

Slightly off topic (What topic?) but can I just run this by you, you being such an intelligent and knowledgeable chap?
If I could run faster than the speed of light and I were to take a photo' of Pendle Hill then run as quick as I could and stand on Pendle, posing,would I be on the photo'?

Andy T. 

Good one! - If you could (and according to Albert you can't) then it would depend on how much faster you could run and how far the camera was from the hill (if speed/time/distance relationships were linear - but they're not - my physics teacher told me so! Unless you know different??😝)

Best start of a debate for ages!

The Beastie's are influential due to bringing Rap / Hip Hop to the white market...marking the way for Eminem, then the following UK artists such as Dizzee Rascal, Just Jack et al...
