Much more interesting :D

Can't think of any for certain, but I'm pretty sure that Dream Theater handed something down through the cosmic ether to The Mars Volta

  - The Rolling Stones -> The Dandy Warhols
    
    Funny thing is I'm not even joking. Who knew that all boring lifeless trad-rock needed was some shoegaze melancholy?
    
    :D

    - I think you could make an argument
      
      that shit Pink Floyd influenced the Dandy Warhols...
      
      And, though I really love the first 3 records, it's hard to think of the Dandys as "great".

        I've seen the Dandys 3 times and left early on every occasion. *shrugs* (Zia's boobs, that one time, were terrific for the first 45 minutes, and then, after that, they were just boobies.)
        
        oceanRain @oceanRain | 7 Nov '11, 02:05 | X
      - It's easy to think of the Dandy's as 'great'.
        
        Also- Dandy Warhols> Ride

    andyvine, Samberic, and _bisto this'd this
  - Okay, seriously
    
    Ben Weiman once claimed that "...and justice for all" was his favourite album ever, that would imply that Metallica influenced Dillinger Escape Plan....
    
    AsianVsPredator | 7 Nov '11, 08:43 | X
    - and justice for all
      
      > everything dillinger escape plan has ever done and arguably any other heavy metal record released.
      
      horrorbiz @AsianVsPredator | 7 Nov '11, 14:21 | X
      - Despite the rambly song structures and terrible production?
        
        Its not even the best Metallica record
        
        AsianVsPredator @horrorbiz | 7 Nov '11, 15:21 | X
  - Curve => Garbage
    
    Well, Curve were good but very limited in scope. Garbage could have written basically anything by Curve, but Curve couldn't have produced Stupid Girl or Milk or Queer.
    
    Eldritch | 7 Nov '11, 09:10 | X
    - I disagree
      
      partly because I love Curve (though also really like garbage) but mostly because I've never bought into the 'Garbage are like Curve' line. They've got completely different song-writing styles. Garbage is more melodies and riffs, whereas Curve is more groove and wall of noise.

  - The Byrds ---> The Stone Roses
    
    Royter-Hatfood | 7 Nov '11, 09:35 | X
  - The Doors --> Joy Division
    
    ignatz | 7 Nov '11, 09:43 | X
  - this covers
    
    most bands.
    
    shadyadie | 7 Nov '11, 10:39 | X
  - Radiohead > Coldplay
    
    wonton | 7 Nov '11, 12:38 | X
  - some might say
    
    oasis influencing a few good bands eg arctic monkeys is a decent example!
    
    m0ssy99999 | 7 Nov '11, 12:56 | X
    - ...of a shit band influencing an even shitter band
      
      andystevio @m0ssy99999 | 7 Nov '11, 13:20 | X
      - In all serious though, this thread is pointless
        
        andystevio @andystevio | 7 Nov '11, 14:19 | X
  - joy division ---> some music

  - The Refused ------> Lost Prophets
    
    xheathenx | 7 Nov '11, 14:20 | X
    - sorry, misread the thread title.
      
      completely.
      
      Nation of Ulysses -----> The Refused.
      
      xheathenx @xheathenx | 7 Nov '11, 14:21 | X
  - Do you mean Refused?
    
    And do you mean that Nation of Ulysses are shit?
    
    If so you are WRONG!

    Poke, chadders, _bisto, and fuck_this_band this'd this
  - Ok, so so far
    
    we've had people in this thread labelling The Byrds, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and ...And Justice For All as shit, whist labelling Garbage and Coldplay as really great.
    
    You all need to have a long hard look at yourselves.

    so I stand by why I said.

    AsianVsPredator | 7 Nov '11, 15:17 | X
  - With reference to the OP...
    
    ...specifically Dream Theater, Genesis were/are a terrible band who for some reason seem to have inspired a range of acts who, while maybe not attaining the status of great, are at least far superior:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_(band)#Legacy
    
    pentargo | 7 Nov '11, 15:28 | X
    - Except that Dream Theatre are shit
      
      and up to 1983 Genesis released some very good and some really great albums.
      
      Drummerdave @pentargo | 7 Nov '11, 16:00 | X
  - Nirvana -> zillions of good bands.
    
    Samberic | 7 Nov '11, 15:29 | X
  - so dream theater are the only good example so far then?
    
    good thread.
    
    fuck_this_band | 7 Nov '11, 16:04 | X
  - Kiss influenced Melvins
    
    who are a great, great band. I haven't actually heard enough Kiss to judge if they're terrible, but they certainly don't get a lot of critical appreciation.
    
    ContentToPlayVillain | 7 Nov '11, 16:09 | X
    - Critics are all benders, though.
      
      poptimusgrime @ContentToPlayVillain | 7 Nov '11, 16:13 | X
      
      ContentToPlayVillain this'd this
      - *Crisstics
        
        I don't think that works as a joke at all but i'm sticking with it.
        
        mug_mug_mug @poptimusgrime | 7 Nov '11, 18:03 | X
    - If you're cool you could pretend your band was influenced by Alice Cooper
      
      and anyway Kiss aren't a shit band. They just have embarrassing songs, can't play very well and at least two of them are the biggests arseholes on the earth. They're not shit. There's a difference.
      
      mug_mug_mug @sorrow26 | 7 Nov '11, 18:05 | X
    - This is one of the shittest threads ever.
      
      Oissin_ | 7 Nov '11, 18:19 | X
      - The Kayas -> Sweet Gorrila -> Dingus Khan
        
        Mick_Squalor | 7 Nov '11, 18:24 | X
      - Sex Pistols
        
        Eldooder1no | 7 Nov '11, 18:29 | X
        
        They were pub-rock balls, but excited many more creative people.
        
        Possibly same goes for Velvet Underground, although they're not that shit, Sister Ray is awesome.
        
        Eldooder1no @Eldooder1no | 7 Nov '11, 18:31 | X
        
        this is a pretty good one
        
        crashingthrough @Eldooder1no | 7 Nov '11, 18:47 | X
        
        no wait, hadn't read the Velvet Underground bit there
        
        ignore
