  1. i think clapton would say hendrix too, but i think clapton is more popular and widely known by non guitar and non music-types. which gives me an opportunity i never miss, i went to kingston poly in the 80's and our illustration lecturer tells of his predecessor at kingston school of art saying "you'll never get anywhere until you put that guitar down, clapton". again zep is probably more influential, but in the background, whereas i bet more people have a floyd album than a zep, although if you have a zep album you probably have more zep albums than people with floyd albums have floyd albums. bowie has more range, jagger is good, but i'm sure bowie could do jagger, but jagger couldn't do bowie, bowie doesn't stand still. damn, i wanted something to listen to while i work, not something i have to comment on every five seconds. st pepper's has to be the more influential, it came out first, it had so many novel ideas for people, philosophy, art, music, instruments, lyrics, dark side of the moon is probably my favourite "play every track" album (i went to visit a friend when it first came out, i walked through the door to his place, he gave me a tab of acid, put headphones on me and put dark side on the turntable, it's the only way to listen to it) but sgt pepper's really changed everything, not just music. dark side came out of "pink floyd pink floyd" the album with the white cover. relics, that one, psychedelia, all of it. money for nothing and satisfaction have pretty much the same guitar sound. they are both underrated.
