I was merely explaining my statement (as asked). Why did I comment? Because I agreed and felt like added into the thread. I usually don't go this in depth talking about my music tastes. I understand mine are completely different than most people's, so I just go and do my own thing. I like music, I just don't care to go to extremes. I just want to find something enjoyable to listen to. That's all :). I never argued about "the most influential". If said bands are influential, then so be it. I'm merely stating taste. I don't know if you ever mistook my statements as facts, but they are opinions. Hence the topic/question posted. ;)If you're not that into music, then why put forth such definitive arguments on the matter?
I'd never deign to argue about the most influential gear design.
That said, all opinions ought to be welcome here, not just the ones we want to agree with. As long as they're put forth civilly. Everybody.
