Maiden comes to mind, Richard James, Mulattica, Death, Aaron Funk, Cynic, Xabec, Front 242 and a lot more.
Then again, I listen to interesting music, not necessarily to Aulde Pharte music
Music influences are very generation-bound by the way. Your dad listened to the Beatles, you listened to Floyd and Bowie, your kids listen to Muse and Placebo...

... it's only those seniors in major company boards waving who, while themselves ranging way beyond YOUR and also
's category of age, sent their dogs into the media to make you feel sorry for yourself and more easily blackmailed into lower claims ...
...Still I wonder, whether there has been any real development (not only) in music since the 70ies and 80ies and if so - in what direction?
Funny enough, some surviving bands of these times have changed their "strategies" during the last decade from these
somewhat barbaric 90ies (cool, we have overcome civilisation) to directions more like their earlier approaches ...
Music a question of generations? I wonder.

some think I'm 30, but no that is still faarrrrrrrrrrrrr away
what comes to mind now are, Front 242 (electro/EBM scene)
Johnny Cash (Americana releases has deff influenced music the last 15* years)
also I think bands as Tool and BRMC have opened a lot of doors for other bands, same could be said about porcupine tree (but I don't like the that much
)

Agreed, I've liked everything he's done. But can we cite bands he's influenced?

Sorry Tim, I read the title of Francis' thread as my Music Heroes. 
And not wishing to derail the thread (but doing it anyway) ...I do remember my first ever topic start on HL in 2003 when I asked what people thought about The White Stripes.
And I've dug it out. Here
It's quite scary that Ritchie agreed with a newbie.
But I did chuckle at ...

I know, I'm over 40,

Oh for shame! No-one's mentioned !
But, in answer to your question Francis, very little has been produced since that could compare to Bowie, IMHO.

Kraftwerk? If we assume that their influence began with Autobahn in 1974, we can say that they're post-Bowie. Hell, they even influenced Bowie himself in his Berlin years!
Although I love Bowie, I'm inclined to be a bit contrary here and claim that his influence was more a cultural one than a musical one. Ziggy Stardust was (and is) a damn fine album but, musically, it's hardly revolutionary, especially when put against something like Roxy Music's first album from the same year.

See what you mean, but then in the first post, Mr. Francis referred to 'influential' musicians...I'm sure I can stand corrected if I've interpreted it wrong!Johnny Rev 7.0 wrote:Sorry Tim, I read the title of Francis' thread as my Music Heroes.
Either way, JW is a musical pioneer!

Surely the list is endless when compared to Bowie's Hunky Dory as he took more influnces than he gave.

I am rather sad but it would be:
Ministry
Sisters
Elvis Presley
Janis Joplin
nin
Eurythmics
Hole (I know but once the way she sang meant something)
The Pogues
Clint Mansell for the Requiem for a Dream and Fountain soundtracks
I used to be crazy about the Dead Kennedys but it grates a bit nowadays, and PiL are fairly up there just for the music.
And god I have no defence for this but Cher. Brilliant actress too.
Oops and the Stones.
And Don McLean for American Pie, The Jam for A Town Called Malice, Bronski Beat for Smalltown Boy, The Chameleons for Don't Fall, Barry McGuire for Eve of Destruction and the Zombies, Time of the Season.
I'll finish the stop I started three paragraphs ago.
