In Your Own opinion!!!!What is The Biggest Influence Of Rock and Roll in the 60's and 70's?
LSD
Okay , you didn't ask who was the biggest bands or who was the most popular bands or who sold the most albums etc. etc. . You asked WHAT is the biggest influence of rock and roll in the 60s and 70s . From Clapton to Jimmie Page to Jeff Beck to Robert Plant to Mick Jagger to George Harrison to Hendrix to Morrison (Jim) to multitudes of musicians , singers and writers most of that era give credit of their inspiration to black American delta blues musicians such as Lead Belly , Muddy Waters and blues greats of that genre who were well established in their musical style in the 40s .What is The Biggest Influence Of Rock and Roll in the 60's and 70's?
If you start in the 60's, you can't draw a breath without mentioning The Beatles somewhere as their sound was widely copied, they were a huge influence on music of the time. Led Zep made their mark as well, and then you had a bunch of bands trying to imitate that sound. While hugely popular, Hendrix, due to his limited time as an artist, IMO had somewhat less of an impact, although his music is timeless. The last great influence of the 70's would have to be Van Halen. Edward managed to take a technical attack to the guitar, while still maintaining an incredible tone and his style has been copied so many times it's almost maddening.
The Blues was the biggest influence on the early rock and roll stars. Elvis, The Beatles and Led Zeppelin were inspired by the blues and have even been accused of stealing from them. The Beatles were very heavily influenced by Chuck Berry, and covered several of his tunes. Without The Blues, there would be no Rock and Roll.

i'd say jazz and blues (u know... chuck barry and bb king) and then the bealtes kinda mixed styles and then well les zeppelin and rolling stones kindaa took it to a new level... i think psychedelic was also very influential like pink floyd, the doors, and velvet underground... although a lot of people dont see it, I think david bowie had a lot to do with the style he was there for a lot of time and always in scene... btw i like ur hippie bandana on the profile pic
