most influential artist of all time.
>>61349725
>implying it's not pic related
naw. he's a good guitar player and semi-influential, but all the accolades given to him are blown out of proportion. if Eric Clapton didn't hype him so much he would almost be forgotten today.
In popular music? Probably James Brown.
>>61349921
crossroads' influence transcended music literally responsible for hundreds of novels and films.
>>61349725
Charley Patton
God of /mu/
GOAT
waiting for it..
>>61349921
nice source retard. he's incredibly influential
>>61349984
except it's just a retelling of the Faust myth in a blues context and once again only really gained traction after Eric Clapton started masturbating over his dead body
>>61349984
the faustian pact story is a folk tale robert johnson didn't come up with it famalam
JAMES BROWN
>>61349725
>not charley patton
>>61350172
>>61350003
I'd sort of agree in terms of music. However, would you guys agree that Johnson was incredibly influential in terms of the "rockstar" image?
>>61350200
>in terms of the "rockstar" image?
i never really got that to be honest. i just care about the music anyway. lead belly and charley patton are far more infuential than johnson whichever way you look at it.
What do Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Memphis Slim, BB King, Sam Cooke, The Rolling Stones, The Who, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, Cream, Van Morrison, The Allman Brothers, The Grateful Dead, The Band, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Captain Beefheart, The New York Dolls, Bernie Taupin, Tom Petty, Elvis Costello and Bruce Springsteen all have in common?
>>61350311
>>61350200
I agree with the "rockstar" image thing too. The live hard die young kinda thing.
I kinda wanna to see this thread, so far i've seen this place shit on all the music i like, lets see what happens.
>>61350413
what music do you like Anon?
>>61350200
Yeah, I agree.
he's pretty much changed hip hop in a way
>>61350433
Well i like the Beatles, Sonic Youth, Wilco My bloody Valentine to say the most talked about around here.
is the devil thing real?
>unknown death
>Son house said he was the worst musician he ever heard
>5 years later Son house says he was one of the best
>it's documented he really did go to the cross roads and some people even witnessed him picking up a guitar
>>61350463
Well if you dig them who cares about what anyone thinks. I like these too. Have you listened to Jim O'Rourke? He was both in Sonic Youth and produced Wilco's biggest album.
Shakespeare....
let's all ask the master what he thinks?
>>61350450
he's been around for 6 years. you can't put him in the same league as these other guys. also i might have been memed if so well good
>>61350531

Pick one.

I know that's why i always come here for recommendations and the like. Sometimes i just enter to some threads to see or incite racial comments or piss people off. The true essence of 4chan.
>>61350556
you do know white people weren't playing instruments until this century right? whites directed the niggers and were known as composers while the rest of the whites painted and invented things. music belongs to blacks
>>61350616
They're still dumb monkeys though.
>>61349725
In all honesty yes he was influential to a great degree, while US hanged black people, british enjoyed their music and some very influential artist like eric clapton reinvented their music with the basis of jonhson and oher blues aritst. Who knows how modern rock will sound without those influences.

Leadbelly had a kind of "rockstar/rebel" thing going on. He was a murderer (I think he killed a couple of people as it goes) and sang his way out of prison twice
>>61350313
Best answer so far. Influential songwriter and bass player in all the best chicago cuts (from the 50s onwards anyway).
Willie Dixon is the real inventor of rock and roll

and as a songwriter & interpreter he was far more influential than johnson. period.

If you're talking about western popular music, it's going to be Stephen Foster, who basically invented the verse-chorus-verse format for pop songwriting in the mid-1800's.

I went down to the crossroads myself, absolute shit hole in the middle of no where. this guy was good but heavily overrated.
>>61350616
you're the most deluded person I have ever met. Musical instruments have been played for hundreds of years, in some cultures thousands.
Too bad his music is painful to listen to. Just because he didn't have much competition of good guitar playing back then doesn't make it good now that everyone influenced by him became 10x better.
James Brown
Robert Johnson
Louie Armstrong
Miles Davis
Stockhausen
Cage
Beethoven
Velvet Underground
Beatles
i'd accept all these
>>61349725
he's a satanist

Trips speak the truth, one of the reason why i don't listen blues anymore. Love in Vain always hit the feels.

In hip hops terms these are the most influential:
Nas
Tupac
Eminem
Missy Elliot(for women)
Jay z
Kanye
Kendrick Lamar

They had Accordions in the 1830's, Organs and Pianos long before that. Flutes, harps, horns. Guitars did not exist until the 1900's.

I don't even know who is baiting at this point
>>61352023
Anime is not reality, go outside.

if you think History is bait then you also need to kill yourself. You and the guy who thinks Nujabes is relevant in any music scene can hang yourselves right next to each other.

Found the 12 yr old. Really couldn't use any other descriptive word than "gay" huh?
>>61352313
Gay = Bad/lame. It also means Homosexual, and it used to mean Happy.

He was a wannabe gangster who stole Scarface's shtick and made one good album with it.

Go back to >>>/pol/ faggot.
>>61353272
>beethoven
his father
>>61353336
but how does that not make him influential? that "one" good album (also, fuck you, life after death is good) is one of the most influential rap albums. besides that, he was a good rapper and songwriter
>>61353395
just wait for the autist to say "go back to reddit/tumblr" like his contaiment board represents the whole website
>>61353411
if you think the album is influential look at the producers who made the sound. biggie wrote good bars that doesn't mean he influence an entire generation his sound did and biggie didn't make his sound. producers > rappers when it comes to influence.
>>61353272

Samurai champloo is the shit, even if you don't watch anime its still raw as fuck. You have one samurai that's been trained his whole life and then the other guy thats a natural and only taught himself, kind of like goku and vegeta or ryu and ken type of story
>>61354629
Both Samurai Chanploo and Cowboy Bebop feel like western thrillers as cartoons. No reason to avoid either of them.
Question yall, did Leadbelly create house of the rising sun
>>61355274
No, Rising Sun Blues (As it was originally called) is a Traditional whose actual authorship is unknown.
