Im asking cos i cant think of anyone they influenced. Besides one or two shitty bands. So if you cant answer my question Kenny, obviously they dont deserve do be on thatlist.

But see, it's a question that doesn't even deserve a response because the bands/musicians they've influenced is countless!! You think I'm going to start naming bands to prove my point? I don't need to! It's fact, music history proven countless times! Do I need to somehow prove that Metallica are one of the greatest metal bands of all time? Absolutely not! They proved that 20 years ago! A question like that doesn't deserve a reply. It's just fact.
I know some of you are young and I hate to throw that out there, but it matters. In the 80's I didn't trash Sabbath and Zeppelin, you know? I don't like Zeppelin, I never really have, but I know their place in history and I will never argue it. Shit, I barely like Maiden. They've never really done it for me, but will you ever see me question their contributions to the metal world, their influence on other bands or the quality of their music? Absolutely not. It just doesn't do it for me like other bands. It doesn't mean they suck.

ALL GAY!!! Now dont get me wrong, Pantera are ok, but an ok band that influences many bands is not TEH GREATEZT EVAH!!!!!! cos it can only spawn mediocre bands.
