I`ve been thinking about this lately and I can`t really come up with a definite answer. U2? The Pixies, while I don`t really like their music, pioneered THE SOUND of the early 90s (soft loud for those not in the know). Maybe even Metallica. GNR?
I`m really tempted to say that it was the Pixies, although they didn`t make the soft loud style popular (that would be Nirvana), but their style carried over into the early 90s. Metallica`s 80s style seemed to fade away with the coming of grunge, leading them to go with a different sound with the Black album. U2 really does seem to have carried over quite well, so I really think it`s U2 or the Pixies.
Um, Cartman. Pearl Jam is my favorite band of all time, & I read dozens & dozens of interviews of theirs + heard dozens, never once did any member of Pearl Jam ever mention Iron Maiden as an influence in any regard. In fact the members of PJ usually wear band tshirts on stage representing bands that have influenced them, & they`ve never worn an Iron Maiden tshirt.
well i heard that iron maiden was an influence by a Hunter, a dude that used to write on this forum and is a !***** die hard fan of pearl jam, you can check out his participations in many of these threads
and yes i did miss out the w on two, but are we talking music or spelling.
Judas Priest, which influenced all the metal bands of the 80`s, pioneering the sub-genre of "Speed Metal" with the release of "Exciter" from their 4th studio album "Stained Class". Download it, preferably the live version. 1978... If you wanna hear some good music i`ll hook you up.
