The most sampled piece of music ever
Sure, artists can say they influenced other artists, but how many can say that their music was used as a foundation of entire genres of music?

More than 'Funky Drummer'?
Actually you're probably right.

I thought of you when I was reading Record Collector yesterday - there's an interesting piece on Industrial Records (Throbbing Gristle etc) - they said it's the only time a record label has given its name to a genre. I couldn't think of another.

I think that there's stuff that wasn't on Motown Records that people would think of as having the sound of Motown.

The sometimes superb stuff on Motown's rock offshoot label Rare Earth, for example.

I can think of another
Digital Hardcore, although the label was set up after the man coined the phrase.
I'm not a huge fan of traditional, old-school Industrial, that happened 10-20 years before my musical awakening, but I have seen a few of the old greats.

Ah but that article says
a fellow named his label after the name he'd given to his style of music, that's not quite the same.

I concede that
