Tim Armstrong of Rancid and the Transplants, is another legacy artist.

Two of the best and most influential bands to come out of the '80's: The Pixies and Sonic Youth. Neither had the success they deserved and didn't get a lot of radio play but they influenced many bands, including Nirvana and David Bowie.

Pixies are excellent...Sonic Youth is pretty good, too. Both did have quite an influence on Nirvana - they signed to their record label basically due to Sonic Youth being on the label as well.

Some of the original legacy guys are still at it..

It could be said ELO's legacy was to play a role in inspiration for the rock opera song Bohemian Rhapsody made famous by Queen.

I liked "turn to stone" among others.
