Leader of the Pack ruled.

They had a lot of influence on what later became alternative, post-punk, and indie rock. Artists like Sonic Youth, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Belle and Sebastian, Amy Winehouse, Kathleen Hanna, Patti Smith, and others have listed them as an influence. When I listen to their music, I can't help but think Kathleen Hanna had them on a regular rotation back in the day.
