Who is the most influential Rock or Metal band from your country?
I’ll go first. I think one of the most influential bands from my home country of England is the mighty Black Sabbath. With such a lengthy career and so many bands saying Sabbath got them into music, They have earned their place in history.

Going hyper-local (Minneapolis/Minnesota, USA), it might be a tossup between two ends of the spectrum: Prince for the general pop/rock influence. I think we’re still discovering his many alternative names and who he wrote with and for. He definitely had a huge impact on all genres of music in the 80s.
Often listed as an influence by the bands that followed them (quite a few that made it much bigger than them), from grunge to garage I’ll offer up The Replacements. I’m always amazed at the bands and musicians who identify them as an influence.
I answered your last post with The Stones, and I have to go with them again here. They’re still rockin’ on, still bringing in the audiences and still inspiring thoughts of ‘I wish I was’ in the hearts of countless other musicians. There are so many other greats from the 60s and 70s – The Who, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd to name but a few – that I could be here all night. I’m off to a bar instead though. Thanks for the nostalgia! 😎
We’ve got quite a few in the US mentioning Jefferson Airplane, Journey, Bon Jovi and the list goes on not to mention all the rock greats like Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel. I also wanted to mention a favorite that I just had a hard time to get over that COVID actually took him Meat Loaf.
