Rites of Spring. Emo killed punk, pretty much sucks as of the last 5 years or so, and made a lot of modern rock bland as hell.

Yeah. was just about to say something along those lines.

Emo didn't kill punk, it became an offshoot. Maybe the emo you're thinking of made modern rock bland as hell, but the emo I'm thinking of has had no impact whatsoever on radio rock of the 21st century.

I voted other for The Beatles, because most rock bands are influenced by The Beatles to some degree and most rock bands suck.

The Doors..

I take it you mean good emo. At the Drive in Emo rather then Dashboard Confessional emo. Yeah. You're right.

For the record, At the Drive in. At the Drive in are terrible and bands that want to be At the Drive in are terrible.

I love The Beatles and The Beach boys, but not the music they inspired.
Same with Nirvana, Velvet Underground, and Led Zeppelin.

Menudo - We really didn't need all those boy bands that followed, they did nothing but launch Timberlakes career, or are we just talking rock bands?

I think that Motley Crue deserves a mention because I can't stand them alone, and the glam rock/ hair metal scene that launched afterwards was not any better.

Music would be pretty shitty without the VU's influence. They influenced countless bands.

EDIT: Meh, I may as well rattle off a few artists the VU influenced:

The Jesus & Mary Chain
Sonic Youth
Joy Division
Bowie
Sonic Youth
The Pixies
R.E.M
Roxy Music
Nirvana, funnily enough.

Nirvana take the cake, mostly because I like them, so it's more painful to see the grunge imitators who were so successful in the late nineties, but Iron Maiden is a close second in my mind, and I DONT like Iron Maiden.
