I think musical influences should be noted by their influence in HOW someone plays a musical instrument, not their motivation to actually learn an instrument. If Kiss influenced me to learn guitar, but I found I liked Trey Anastasio's style of guitar more influential to my style, I'd say that Trey Anastasio was more influencial to me as a guitarist than Kiss.

I understand what you're saying. But I look at it more in terms of how Nirvana affected the industry. It's like the Spice Girls thing - they changed the target audience. Even if none of the bands that started because of Nirvana went anywhere, they definitely affected what labels looked for. Like, I would consider Tarantino to be incredibly influential. He's hardly original, since all of his style is directly and blatantly from Kurosawa and the like, but Tarantino took the next step by actually taking it to American pop culture and
influencing average people with things that weren't even his.
