Ha, Good topic!

The Ramones, and The Beach Boys

The cramps, and link Wray

Fishbone, and parliament/funkadelic

Not a silly topic at all.

Probably Talking Heads and Queen.

Granted, though, Freddie and Brian made the cover of TP at least once.

More in the UK Mod genre:
Jam / Kinks

Glam :
Early Sparks, New York Dolls, Velvet Underground (Lou Reed) / Glitter Band, Sailor, Steve Harley (Cockney Rebel)

Back in America:

NYC (pre-Ramones) Punk:
New York Dolls & Dictators / 1960's West Coast AM radio (Wrecking Crew), Pop Folk & Psychedelia

*Other artists that I value, cherish and play, very often contain certain elements in style, sound and presentation that evoke those of my favorites mentioned above.

Flogging the dead horse....

POWER POP:
Cheap Trick / Beatles

Answer will change every day, maybe every hour. Right now, it’s the Clash and Todd Terry.

Terry’s 12” releases in the late 80s were so exciting to me….at a time when I felt punk/new wave/alternative were kinda lacking.
He released his stuff under pseudonyms (black riot, royal house, orange lemon, swan lake, etc).

Elvis Costello & The Move
