i believe the question was, are there any bands from the last 20 years that had the kind of influence Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison ect had?

of course i think the answer's yes...the state of today's music makes me sad, but there ARE good bands, you just need to search for them a bit, cos they're sure as hell not being played on MTV. As for bands that had an influence-not many Americans know of them, but The Libertines are a British band that had a huge influence on indie music. They're broken up now (tragically), but they're one of those bands that people say "they changed/saved my life" about. To me they're the most signifigant band of the last 20 years...Nirvana being a close second.
