..but if he hadn't have been doing those things then those bands wouldn't have anything to start with. I can see your conumdrum though and it shouldn't just be influence alone. The criteria I'm trying to use now with the HOF is influence and whether I actually like the artist as well and if people just don't listen to the artist then you cannot help but dismiss them (as I did with P.I.L- I wanted them but had to be honest in the fact that I don't listen to them).
