Who had the most influence on classic rock? In that case, I'd probably say Robert Johnson or Leadbelly or some other old time bluesman. A lot of the classic rock bands just took old blues songs and redid them.

If you mean the most influential classic rocker? I'm not really sure...

rock is so vast even in just your classic rock (term i have problems with) it is impossible. As Robby Krieger said for deciding to go into rock not jazz,

"Records got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock 'n' roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn't been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn't have gone rock 'n' roll. I didn't plan on rock 'n' roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock 'n' roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock 'n' roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There's no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz - which is dying - as far as making any money is concerned."

basically saying rock had no set rules as what could be done besides the beat which was Proved to be wrong in the long run any way. the fact is that Sun RA is as much of an influence in classic rock as anyone. it really depends on the band to find the influence because they were all so different but something tied them to gather and if anyone knows please tell me

Depends on what you define as Classic Rock. Some say Led Zep is Metal, some say it's Classic Rock.

Death Metal (and related trash) says otherwise.

Everyone gets their kicks out of some sexual topic every now and then. Just have to live with it.

I'm not really fussed on who's the most influencial classic rock artist. It's always down to opinion.

Chuck Berry and Elvis came before them though, and influenced people before they were around.

Again, it depends on what you think Rock is. For some, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis were Rock while for others, they were Country.
