Shit bands who clearly influenced really great bands
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

sorry mate that example is shit to wank.
every person that posts
here is a twat. Including me, obv
But this, here above is the sign of a troll. Or A COCK.
^John Terry
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.)
It's easy to think of the Dandy's as 'great'.
Also- Dandy Warhols> Ride
Shite examples thus far lads
Pink Floyd Defo Influenced Sweet Gorilla
The Smiths > a million great bands
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....
and justice for all
> everything dillinger escape plan has ever done and arguably any other heavy metal record released.
Despite the rambly song structures and terrible production?
Its not even the best Metallica record
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.
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
The Doors --> Joy Division
this covers
most bands.
Radiohead > Coldplay
some might say
oasis influencing a few good bands eg arctic monkeys is a decent example!
...of a shit band influencing an even shitter band
In all serious though, this thread is pointless
joy division ---> some music
good lord
The Refused ------> Lost Prophets
sorry, misread the thread title.
completely.
Nation of Ulysses -----> The Refused.
Do you mean Refused?
And do you mean that Nation of Ulysses are shit?
If so you are WRONG!
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.
Calculating Infinity shits all over Justice
so I stand by why I said.
*what I said
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
Except that Dream Theatre are shit
and up to 1983 Genesis released some very good and some really great albums.
Nirvana -> zillions of good bands.
so dream theater are the only good example so far then?
good thread.
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.
Critics are all benders, though.
*Crisstics
I don't think that works as a joke at all but i'm sticking with it.
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.
This is one of the shittest threads ever.
The Kayas -> Sweet Gorrila -> Dingus Khan
Sex Pistols
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.
this is a pretty good one
no wait, hadn't read the Velvet Underground bit there
ignore
