So once again which, contributed more? Not your opinion of the music they play/played.

Sparta FTW! Joking, but Alfred, Im with you for sure. ATDI, I feel did much more overall for the rock genre.

Who you feel contributed more is still a matter of opinion. As I explained, I feel ATDI contributed more to the post-hardcore genre in general, but Mars Volta adapted it into a more specialized sub-genre; but they weren't followed heavily.
