Jode Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 The Vox Clyde McCoy Wahwah pedal. The Echoplex. The Floyd Rose locking tremelo. The XLR connector. The Fender Stratocaster. The Gibson Les Paul. The Fender Precision Bass. The Minimoog. The Fender Twin. The Marshall Plexi. The DW double bass pedal. The Rogers Memriloc hardware system. The PureCussion RIMS drum mount. The Remo Weather King drumhead. The Hammond organ and Leslie cabinet, whether together or apart. The short answer, dude, is that you can't limit it to 25, and everyone's list will be different. Of course, the single thing that affected the way we play music was brought out about 400 years ago, and it's not an instrument, or even an object: the equal-temperament tuning system.

Mats Olsson. Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Items to add to the list: Music press Lifestyle media (print, web, tv) MTV (yes, MTV is a product IMO!) MIDI & Quantization (ok, they're concepts rather than products) Auto-tune Music software (for composing, recording, editing etc) Inexpensive CDR-burners & -media Outboard pre-amps mLAN (hasn't catched on yet, just wait!) OTARI/IZ Radar Some of the above aren't for the benefit of music but they have influenced how music is produced & consumed. /Mats http://www.lexam.net/peter/carnut/man.gif What do we want?

phaeton Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 Chicks. I mean, c'mon... 2/3 of every song is about - some chick the guy wants to bone - some chick the guy is tired of boning - some chick that went away and he wasn't done boning yet - some chick that was being boned by some other guy, and this guy isn't the "i want to share my boning material" type. (no seriously)... How about a radio or t.v.? Or how about the notion that "you can market blacks music [sic] to white sock-hoppin' teenagers and make a crapload of money"? That's where the modern music industry (like it or not) started. I will agree with many that the above list is pretty lame. Most of that stuff looks only 5 years old, but i'm probably mistaken. And there's been a lot of badass music created, played and enjoyed throughout history without those things, even without electricity.
