They have made so many believe in themselves and that their is light at the end of the tunnel. They helped me cope with life and I am now able to help every one of my friend that needs help. They have given me so much hope and are so inspiring to others. I owe them everything. Thank you My Chemical Romance.

They should be #1, for sure. Gerard Way overcame drugs, alcohol, depression, and suicide, and encourages others to get help. My Chemical Romance has saved so many lives along their journey of 12 years, and will continue to inspire even after their breakup.

I think they should be Number One as they are extremely inspirational and has saved millions of teenage lives.

Amazing band that saves lives

An 'influencer' band. Punk, mod whilst still being standard rock influence. Power chording, Marshall stack and discouraged screaming teen girls at gigs before many others. Townshend wrote the most honest self effacIng lyrics of all, was the most intellectual of the rock Gods without losing touch with the power of pop and pop culture which he understood better than most. Alsogot involved with charitable causes before it was popular. Boil down much of Rock music over the last 50 years and you will find the Who at the bottom of the saucepan.

32 Stick to Your Guns

I know this band is hardly popular, but they are definitely one of the most inspirational I know. I saw them in concert for the first time on December 15, 2012 and I was absolutely touched by their music. Most people will probably just think 'Oh, another metalcore band, nothing entertaining here. ', but I swear to you these guys are different. I was almost in tears when the lead singer, Jesse, gave a speech on how we are the young people that need to better this world. A lot of the time, we're told we're naive and we have no input, but the truth is, we're the future of this planet, and we have to change it to make it great. This band lets everyone know they aren't alone and that's what every song is about. Not to mention they have their own style and aren't like every other band in the book. Stick To Your Guns definitely deserves a spot on this list; they make me proud of what I listen to.

"I know that what's in front of me is a reflection of what is inside of me,
I see I need to be myself because it's so lonely in the eyes of someone else,
I feel,
Oh yeah I feel,
Yeah I feel and I always will,
I starve to live free from fear,
To free myself before I disappear, I am forever more than just surviving,
This is my life and this life is my Diamond"

-Diamond

This band is simply awesome, the lyrics are relevant and inspiring to all who listen. A real band with a free mind and an open heart.

Each one of their songs contains pure emotion. Their lyrics connect to people that are going through troubles and tells them to keep on living. They have spirit, power, emotion and the strength to fight so that people can keep on living.

Their songs mean something. You know they're not just throwing out these songs to make money. They have a cause, and they're willing to fight for it.
