The Greatest Most Influential Music of All Time

Five journalists in the 25-35 age range were initially polled as to what music groups were most inspirational to them and their generation. From there, the respondents were asked to choose one song from each of their inspirational artists that best exemplifies that artist.

Determining what bands were most influential to us was the easy part; choosing a single song to represent an entire catalog of music was frustratingly difficult.

Although there were a handful of duplicate artists, the musical tastes interestingly scanned the spectrum, from Goo Goo Dolls to Tupac.
