A question like “Which band is most important?” is something thing like the question, “What is your favorite color?” It’s good for conversation, but any answer is completely subjective, and so carries little weight.

I agree in part, and dissent in part.

Like any art form, music is subjective; what I love about a band (Zappa's technical prowess) may bore others, while I find country music to be the leading cause of boredom in adults.

That said, Springsteen totally sucks, an army of people agree with me, and not just because he's a hoser politically. As such, there has GOT the be some objective measure of "good" in music.

By the way, huckfillary is correct. The Beatles are the most important band ever. No doubt about that.

Important....I dunno...influential? Yes.
