I'm not to familiar with either the metal or the clasic rock genre so i'm gonn go with the most influential punk bands instead.

1. Sex Pistols/The Clash - First major punk bands and they obviously influenced the whole early scene.
2. The Ramones - Not only "anti-everything" lyrics but also songs about girls and stuff.
3. Bad Religion - Suffer anyone? An awesome punk rock record with some meldody to it that set the tone for almost every band after 1987.
4. Green Day - Three chord songs.
5. Blink-182 - Same as Green Day but where Green Day can take credit to have influenced bans like Alkaline Trio and New Found Glory, blink can credit themselves to such marvelous acts like Fall Out Boy, All Time Low and Panic At The Dico.

[Raku]

I guess I could try putting my top 5 (not good at these anymore)

Alt Rock (again avoid genre debates =/)
1)blink-182 (Major inspiration for me =))
2)Home Grown (remind of blink-182 in some aspects =P)
3)Fenix Tx
4)Allister
5)Sum 41

*Note, these are only current because my opinion might change in the future...
