Hi Influential, I'm Anthony Fantano

[dillpi]

no memes for this one. very proud and happy to have been around for this ride for over a decade

[Gary_Jules]

You'd be more influential if your name was To Pimp a Butterfantano.

[sodajazz]

I can't believe Anthony would be exposed as a content creator, truly theses are dark times...

[andrewtheidea]

“we all have vasectomies” was diabolical

[tarttooth]

Legitimately, you are incredibly influential. You are the closest thing to a famous music publication that exists for our generation. I've been watching since 2012, waiting for other music critics and outlets to reach your level of cultural proliferation and it just hasn't happened. You are *the* music guy to every english-speaking person under 40.

[dylbertj]

Hearing you say “you refer to me as melon” is by far the craziest 4th wall break ever.

[jonsmith]

Yo that's my grandpa's polo, dawg

[mogullll]

all jokes aside, in the age of algorithms and streaming services you serve as one of the few beacons to find some great new music, you are influential on many people's music vocabulary, thank you melon <3

Anthony ranked 11
Duke Dennis ranked 5
11-5=6
6/10 given to MBDTF
Duke Dennis = MBDTF 🔥🔥🔥

[Robbery]

The fact that Bisan was not number one is actually crazy to me

[Mulyse]

I'm out of touch and I'm proud

[Carlos-lnfd]

I'm glad people acknowledge Anthony's work but the fact that RS is now ranking influencers is the most depressing thing ever.

0:01 this guys the internets busiest music nerd

Figure 11: the Melon peaking out behind a wall to snatch up his prey with his long extendable tongue

[albertmillerelectricbooga]

All these lists made by American publications need a couple token Spanish additions but often skimp on Asian or European or African pretty badly and it really annoys me

[thecluckster]

4:03 this guys is insane, he’s like THE fashion guy. He’s IS him.

[cvm]

I must be in a completely different world than most people on the internet. I’ve only ever watched content from 4 names on this list and heard the names of another 3

[GenesisJames]

Congrats Melon!! You're one of my biggest inspirations and one of two people that got me into reviewing/talking about music so I'm glad to see more (mainstream) people respect your influence 🫡

I’m happy for our boy Fantano, but seeing Rhett and Link still cooking as wholesomely as ever after this many year was what really warmed my heart.
