    The Rolling Stones were very influential, but I don't care for much of their work. Wild Horses is good.

    As for British bands, my two popular favorites are Oasis and Pink Floyd.

    As far as the metal scene and much smaller bands, Sylosis is amazing.

    My favorite British band would have to the Stone Roses. They are just so smurfing good.

    Of course, I'm torn. I'm in love with The Who, The Beatles go without saying, Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, Blur, Oasis, Radiohead, The Police, Pink Floyd, etc. have already been listed, but they are all absolutely stellar.

    If I were to go with single musician, however, I'd pick Bowie. I love Bowie, and it was a bummer to see him not perform at the Olympics.

    THE CURE
    You should be banned from having opinions on anything ever
    The Stones do suck. Paint It Black is about their only good song. the rest are just retard garbage.
    Wha? Is 'Paint it Black' the only song you guys have listened to? 'Can't you hear me Knockin'' is pretty much universally loved, and 'Sympathy for the Devil' is one of the greatest rock songs of all time. Heck, they went pretty unique with 'Ruby Tuesday', and 'Street Fighting Man' is just a perfect song altogether. This is all subjective, obviously, but if anything, I found that 'Paint it Black' was one of their weaker songs when you look at their whole catalogue. 'Gimme Shelter' is my favorite song by them, personally, and I certainly wouldn't call it garbage. I've left a bunch of songs out, but you get the idea. Give them another chance!

    I just realized no one listed Dire Straitshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dire_Straits!

    I can't be the only person that thinks they're awesome, right?
