Those are the ones with the familiar influenced bands so far. :)
Obviously Run-D.M.C. and N.W.A.'s albums became the influences for present-time hip-hop artists. Most of the others inspired rock bands like Nirvana, Sublime, Hole, Green Day, the White Stripes, and the Vines.
By the way, the Runaways are female. :) It was said, "they weren't the first female rock band, but they were the first female rawk band."
And to all people who listen to today's emo music, Sunny Day Real Estate is a band to thank.ü Bands like Embrace and Rites of Spring may have begun "Emo" during the late 1980's, it's Sunny Day Real Estate that emo bands of today sound more like. Their songs "48" and "Killed by an Angel" are good.ü (As far as I know, only Gerdo and I know about Sunny Day Real Estate).
Tim "Lint" Armstrong Matt Freeman of Rancid were the guitarist and bassist respectively of Operation Ivy.
Tupac Shakur, R.I.P.
**Silverstein was not featured in Spin they claimed that Sunny Day Real Estate as one of their influences, together with Metallica, etc. (http://silverstein.imeem.com/)
Raise your glasses high for the "forefathers" of the artists you love today! :)

See, these are the reasons why I don't listen to popular music. I mean, why listen to popular but imperfect music that just emulate the past when you can stick to the tried and tested formulas of vintage songs.
Another band I'd like to point out is Oasis. Sure they've declined since their glory days, but one song still on the minds of lovers up to today is their smash hit, Wonderwall. As such, they heavily influence the prote-emo and later, emo rock bands that now numerously dot the music landscape, but one band I can point out as having quite some similarity to Oasis' style is fellow Brit-rock band, Coldplay.
Another band I also would like to point out, and was surprised you didn't include was The Doors, being pioneers of glam rock.
passing by ^^. yeah i was waiting for them too. n i agree with d. a lot of the music now, esp emo rock, for me, is repetative and easy to get sick of. the best rock was back then, since there wasnt any useless "noise" to distract you. and the lyrics makes u think about where ur really heading to.
