I don't know. Didn't they basically just do a watered down version of Television and Velvet Underground? Sure, there are a bunch of bands that sound like them but they didn't come up with anything that original.
>>74962775
All those guys amounted to is one incredibly homogenous genre whereas the other artists mentioned in this thread all pretty much started a genre of their own.

Yeah they shaped modern indie rock though. I dont like Beach Boys but I recognize their importance

Gorguts made the definitive tech death album that bands still copy to this day. It also paved the way for bands like dso and ulcerate.
>Also what the fuck is a Christian Death?
I have no idea, but the band Christian Death is the first deathrock band.

A bunch of bands? In the early 2000s every band that wasn't nu-metal or pop punk was trying to be the strokes.
