Strokes are quit important
Jonathan Moore
Not bad either but how are Gorguts influential at all? Also what the fuck is a Christian Death?
I don't know. Didn't they basically just do a watered down version of Television and Velvet Underground? Sure, there are a bunch of bands that sound like them but they didn't come up with anything that original.
Christopher Stewart
U2
Mason Hill
All those guys amounted to is one incredibly homogenous genre whereas the other artists mentioned in this thread all pretty much started a genre of their own.
Robert Ramirez
Yeah they shaped modern indie rock though. I dont like Beach Boys but I recognize their importance

Henry Green
>Not bad either but how are Gorguts influential at all? Gorguts made the definitive tech death album that bands still copy to this day. It also paved the way for bands like dso and ulcerate. >Also what the fuck is a Christian Death? I have no idea, but the band Christian Death is the first deathrock band.
Adam Nguyen
A bunch of bands? In the early 2000s every band that wasn't nu-metal or pop punk was trying to be the strokes.
