To be honest I think you're alone in considering them worthy of inclusion. After all, they only made the one album and it was hardly groundbreaking, in fact it was somewhat derivative.

I think that's a bit harsh. In fact, it beggars belief. If it wasn't for Kenny's groundbreaking 'The Bump' single and follow up album, The Smiths would never have formed, Prince would never have picked up a guitar, Michael Jackson would still be black, REM would probably still be driving buses in and around the Leicester area, and Tony Hart would never have got his own series. Is that what you want? You've damn well put me off my plate of peas now.

I have to disagree with you there, I think that Hart would have had his own series whatever, as it was evident from the very start that he had the talent but until he started working with Morph he never managed to keep it under control. However Morph's more randomised creativity acted to keep Hart's own avant-garde tendencies in check and Hart moved more towards the mainstream and began the work that made him the name he is today. Therefore I think Morph was the chief influence behind Hart's success, and Bump has almost nothing to do with it other than being played quietly in the background once while Tony did a picture of a wizard.

But then you realise that he really invented 'funk', by playing on 'the one' not the upbeat, and you simply must include him.

The Stones invented punk ..Stones-> garage punk -> The Stooges -> punk. The line starts with them I'd say. They also invented stadium rock, not an achievement i'd thank them for, but there you have it.
When you look at any band within a clear rock (as opposed to pop) framework, it's The Stones they're referencing.

I would agree except for the bit about stadium rock. The Grateful Dead and the Allman Brothers must share the blame.

But as far as the concert being an event, they were definitely a spectacle.
