If you mean a band/musician that influenced the music industry/world as a whole, that gets a bit trickier. Because though I may not like some of these bands/musicians, they have still influenced music in a big way.
1. Beatles - Personal belief, a bunch of no talents. They were just doing it first. But influential non-the-less
2. Led Zeplin - Self Explanitory
3. Micheal Jackson - King of Pop regardless, but not a big fan these days. He is just strange now
4. Jimmy Hendrix - Da Man! But he never should have sang.

Actually they're quite good but there's something wrong with them I've never been able to put my finger on (whiny? ). Maybe its a certain smugness or insincerity. They do reinvent themselves true, but it never seems like its their idea. I dunno, can't really explain it. Love the Blood Red Sky live album though.

They broke up years ago and Frank Black (the singer/songwriter) hasn't really done the same thing for me since.

That's who he is!
Yeah, he seems to have a thing about UFOs and aliens ... if you get a chance check out the Pixies Trompe le Monde album and Frank Black's first solo effort. A few UFO tracks on those! Note: He called himself Black Francis during the Pixies era, and his real name's Charles Thompson Michael Kettle the Third or something - Need to google...
Anyway looks like a good compilation. My fav compilation is quite old now, the Judgement Night soundtrack. Essentially metal/hip-hop collaborations. Not all great but the Dinosaur Jr/Del the Funky Homosapien track is excellent.

OK, before unleashing the attack hounds on you, I suppose I should ask when this was, approximately. (Ideally, which album were tehy touring for?) Some answers are more forgivable than others.

Never heard of them but with a name like that I thought they had to be worth a look and listen! They remind a little of a band called The Cardiacs. Will have to go to Amazon I think...[/QB]
