Without any doubt the musical group that was the most influential of any other has been the Beatles!. Their contribution to music is still being felt!. They learned very early to sing about love and their music is still being heard and purchased!. They didn't cry about how they were victims of racism, they didn't refer to all women as biiitchs!. they didn't advocate violence, they didn't have to fill their lyrics with profanities, they simply sang about relationships and love!. Their lyrics were poetic and their music was written by them!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The troubadours and trouveres, the minnesingers, and others of this sort changed a generation of listeners in that they brought secular music to the masses!. Yes, they reflected the beliefs and ideas of their listeners!. As for the government, depends on whether you mean the secular government or the religious authority!. Their influence was positive!.

The first and second Franco-Flemish schools are the foundations for all modern harmony and composers such as Dunstaple, Dufay, Binchois and their successors, Obrecht, Ockeghem and Palestrina, were in large part responsible for the spread of the ideas of the Renaissance!. Their successors invented opera, which became a major force both for social stability, and for social change ultimately culminating in revolutions in France and Italy!.
