Not-Quite-Controversial Music Conversation Starters (indie, jazz, punk, rock, favorite band)

To impress attractive hipsters or something. To start conversations with people who know what you're talking about. Name all you know.
I'll start.

*Although The Sex Pistols are credited as the first punk rock band, the sound was used before by artists such as the New York Dolls. The Pistols just refined it to include themes of anarchy and rebellion.

*Most sucessful indie bands model themselves after the Velvet Underground.

*Dio totally ****ed up Black Sabbath.

Only rules are, the artists have to be semi-mainstream, so people will know what you're talking about, they can't be pants-pissingly contriversial, and they have to make you sound smart or pretentios.
