I agree, and that’s where I think Green Day have their influence. I’ve had/heard many conversations going along the line of…“Oh, you like Green Day, well have you listened to (The Dickies, Social D, The Damned, et al)”. Green Day only had the detriment of being a punk-generation later than their earlier peers, but they helped refresh the genre for the millennial kids that were too young to have seen The Ramones.

The Cure is a slam dunk easy vote for me. Radiohead is also an easy choice, but I don’t think their inclusion is quite the same slam dunk. And I guess my third vote is for Roxy Music, although I’d have difficulty explaining why.
Radiohead and the Animals were easy picks for me. For third place, hard to choose between Moody Blues and Chicago. I went with the Moodies, but now I think I’ll change it.
Ha!
