Who do you think is the most influential singer of all time?

I have to say Johnny Cash, almost every singer or musician nowadays lists
Johnny as one of their influences.

He's simply amazing.

The Essential Johnny Cash is an absolute must-have CD.

Overall:
1. Chuck Berry
2. The Beatles
3. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
4. Merle Haggard/George Jones (ask any country singer and they will say they were either influenced by Haggard or Jones).

Haggard was influenced by Johny Cash... he even says that... but when it comes to country music they were all influenced by Hank Williams...
Elvis helped influence many people and he was influenced by black rock and roll...
