Sorry, but Sublime isn’t in the same universe as Led Zeppelin.
I’m no boomer and grew up in the 90s.
this discussion has me thinking about a sizable second tier of bands that had significant cultural impact, for sure, though maybe not as massive as some of the ones earlier mentioned.
Of that second tier, I would put forth for consideration:
- Talking Head (art rock and movement to start drawing from the art of other cultures for influence, esp. in David Byrne's later work)
- David Bowie (gender ambiguity)
- Queen
I am sure there are others.
Lil Wayne
Come on- Taylor Swift, Kanye, and Adele are at least as influential culturally as all but a handful of 20th century artists. The OP would have been on firmer ground if he'd noted that there aren't many culturally influential modern rock artists. I love rock but, yeah, it's pretty well dead as a cultural force. Pop and hip-hop are alive and well, though, and have produced plenty of masterpieces in the last 20 years.
+1 on Ugly
Surprised there anyone with taste on this website
Cobain

Should probably include Prince, Hendrix, and Marvin Gaye...and Kanye is a massive tool, but he is on the list. Rihanna could be considered as well. Boyz 2 Men were pretty huge.
Another massive tool, but Beiber should be considered...can't believe I'm typing that.
Stevie Wonder. One of the most talented people ever in the history of pop music. And he has numerous followers.
Probably either Mindfreak or David Blayne
