Important musical moments......

[Exeter Blue I am here]

With the possible exception of The Beatles touching down in the USA for the first time and virtually single-handedly lifting America out of its post JFK assassination induced despair, it's hard to think of a more significant moment in musical history than that which happened 40 years ago tomorrow.
The Sex Pistols television debut on Granada's "So it goes". Forget the fat butter salesman, back then he turned the world upside down

 

[PinkFinal]

My favourite version of that song.

While not a fan Elvis Presley had a huge impact on music. His first hit changed the face of it totally. For me probaly the most influential artist of all time.

 

[BimboBob]

The wankfest that was live aids.

Joy Division's Unknown Pleasures epitomised the very essence of post punk and set the template for "indie" music for the next 20 years

 

[East Level 2]

Robert Zimmerman going electric.

 

[TCIB]

Beastie Boys - they made hip hop acceptable to white America, without them it may have been very different. Hip hop like it or not has been the big boom over the last 20 years, maybe it has calmed now but yeah the Beastie's were a huge enabler for it's current standing.

 

[Ric]

When Morrissey met Marr...

The Beasties is a good call, one of my favourite bands
