It's interesting that on page 1, I said I was voting for The Beach Boys, but somewhere along the way, I actually seem to have voted for the Velvets. I think I was so tired of hearing about The Beach Boys that I couldn't stand voting for them in the end. And it looks like that was the tie-breaker!

They win.
But seriously, they've influenced a countless number of artists.
