I thought I'd start this thread to allow people to post links to true musical pioneers and legendary songs

Here's mine to start!

Jean-Michel Jarre. The influence of his music and his "pathfinding" for synthesizers in generall for practically all other kinds (and many major performers) of pop music that came after him is hard to be overestimated. For that reason, Oxygene and Euqinoxe are two truely classic albums. The concert on the place de la concorde also has been one of the (by audience) greatest concerts of all times.

Arnold Schönberg and the twelve-tone row:

Milton Babbitt and the utilization of serial music with electronics:

Steve Reich and phasing:

The real inovations happen outside of vernacular music.

Arnold Schönberg's twelve-tone row - or as my father and musicians in the DSO call it: "the headache maker". IT's true. They hate playing Schönberg and what is called "modern music" (DSO-musicians nicknamed it as "Musik des Grauens/music of horror""), it causes them bad mood, stress and a majority of the orchestra goes home with heavy headaches, they say!

No joke, it's true. They loved to have had Nagano as chief conductor, but they hated his tick for this music.

I've heard it described as a 'symphony orchestra spinning in a clothes dryer'.
