Ok in my personal opinion one of the most influencial artist of the 20th centuary has to be Marilyn Manson. He took Rock music and put a new face on it. Wasn't afraid to go out there and say what had to be said and didn't care who thought it was inapporite or wrong, he did it. I mean at times he could have done it more tastefully yes I'll give you that but he did it his way. And didn't care who had a fit over it. He did what Elivs did in many ways and what again the Beatels did not too long after. He gave a generation a voice and someone they could relate to. He brought attention to the angst that many people feel. He for me, expressed something that was for a long time inexpressiable. Whether, it was feeling silly, fed up, angry, happy, depressed ect... he always hits the nail on the head for me. Most people think he's a bit insane but my question to that is: Who isn't?
