Which Influential Band Inspired The Worst Bands?
 

I'd say iron Maiden. I can't imagine how much cheesy, middle of the road metal they spawned

Nirvana

Why are the Beatles & The Beach Boys not on the list?

They're responsible for far too much dire twee indie pop.

I'd say Sex Pistols - think of how many unoriginal punk bands there are.

Yeah, none of the worst offenders are on that poll.

I'll go with VanHalen

Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Van Halen. Why are Jethro Tull on this list!!!

Why are The VU on here?

Why not

The sheer number of dire humourless post punk bands they inspired warrent their inclusion.

Well I disagree, when you look back at what they influenced in general, it's more good than bad.

I voted for Nirvana, too many bands thought a flannel shirt would make them grunge.
