I know the Clash and Joy Division were huge influences for them, but they don't sound like the Clash+Joy Division, they sound like an adult-alternative-Clash, so I had to dumb the Clash down with Michael Bolton. I appreciate U2, especially the guitars and drums, but I was raised a punk rocker so I hate U2 by principle. I'll have to check Boy out, I've only got War and Joshua Tree

Ha Ha. I can see it bothers you that a band you like might be part of a U2 equation. Both The Clash and Joy Division were cited as major influences by the band early on. This is a fact. Have you heard U2's first album, Boy? You might like it. They used to rock at one time, believe it or not.

Must check them out.... :)

Keep in mind, they are a bit more the first two than the last one. They can be very mellow in some songs and very loud in others... Yo La Tengo is very underappreciated around here. I recommend I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, especially.

Led Zeppelin + The Stooges= The White Stripes

Of course, I know the White Stripes were influenced by classic blues guys, but so were Led Zeppelin.

="Chemical Smile"][quote="purple"]Joy Division+Pixies=Interpol

[/not sure about The Pixies....the Joy Division part is definitely right, but the 2nd part is proving difficult....at one point i thought

Joy Division + Killers = Interpol

but this felt like a disservice somehow (for the record Hot Fuss is a great album!)quote]

Interpol is more like: Joy Division + The Smiths= Interpol

Of course, I'm cheating in the fact that I know they have cited The Smiths as an influence in interviews. I never really liked Interpol much, but I'm not really a Joy Division fan either.
