The Pixies
The seventh greatest band of all time, and one of the most influential. Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Björk, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, and Beck may be better, but none are as influential.
The Pixies paved the way for many bands, some better than them, but none as original. And Kim Deal's the best bassist ever.

Sonic Youth
The ninth best band ever, after Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Björk, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, Beck, The Pixies, and The Smashing Pumpkins. Not as influential as The Pixies, but more talented, just not as fun to listen to.

The Smiths
The tenth greatest band of all time after Radiohead, Modest Mouse, Björk, The Flaming Lips, Pink Floyd, Beck, The Pixes, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Sonic Youth. A very influential band for pop-rock bands.
The Smiths were a great band, and Morrissey has a great solo career too. Not as great, but still good.

Queen
The best glam rock band after David Bowie, they did pop rock in the eighties too, which was also good. The also had the best singer in popular music, Freddie Mercury.
Queen was quite a great band, too bad Freddie Mercury died. They'd still be making great music today.
