OP asked for a band. But you're right.

VU influenced fewer people than The Beatles but VU influenced more unique and interesting genres.

elvis, beatles, sex pistols, boppe dilanne

>>73214505
chuck berry and bob dylan are more technically influential
but vu determined the emotional context of all rock after it

Anyone wants to spoonfeed me? I keep hearing this influence they had, i want to hear more about it.

Ever heard of:
Emo music
Shoegaze/dream pop
Punk music
Basically everything ever to come out of the alternative scene

Original Dixieland jazzband, according to them they invented jazz as a whole.
