Bad Brains-ehh, i'm going to have to say No. i never found their too much of their stuff that special. even with the reggae influences it felt like they were tacked on at the last minute to their music. not saying i hate their stuff, just that it hasn't moved me really.
Sonic Youth-Yes, in both their sound and songwriting.
Bob Marley and the Wailers-Yes. while Bob has influenced numerous college kids to smoke pot, wear T-Shirts with his face on it and claim he's their favorite artist when they only have Legend, you still have to admit that the group made some great music.
Beastie Boys-Yes, a signature style that both opened doors and kept an identity all their own. plus Paul's Boutique i feel is one of the best hip hop records to date
Buddy Holly-Abstain
The Notorious B.I.G.-Abstain
