Thats a stupid question, offcourse i do.
Lets then include The fine young Cannibals while were at it or even maybe Flock of Seagulls or Spandeu Ballet if Joy Divisions music was better then Queen, Def leppard etc.
Queen has a lot of fans, and there music was at least fairly unique. How many bands have been really direcly influenced by them? I can think of a handful, such as Jellyfish.
I'll desist on Def Leppard.
Joy Division were very influential on UK 80s and 90s indie bands. Comparing them to FYC and Flock of Seagulls shows a great deal of ignorance about that era of music as far as I'm concened.
DSOTM should be there, but Pink Floyd aren't really seen as "cool" in indie circles, despite influencing good bands like The Flaming Lips.
