If Justin Bieber still matters 40 years from now, I'd probably consider the virtues of choking on someone else's vomit...

Okay... what about

1. The Velvet Underground

2. Aerosmith (not a favorite, but highly influential among the Heavy Metal crowd)

3. Van Halen (see #2 above)

4. Blondie (For a number of reason. Also and technically, RAP-Ture was the first rap song to go to #1 on the Billboard chart - which is not necessarily a good thing. Wretched song but showed that rap could cross-over)

5. Led Zeppelin (see #2 above)

The Ramones were, and continue to be influential, but there are others, some more so than others...
In an attempt to get things directed a bit more on topic...

@Bdp24: Dylan's cover of Rebecca Black's "Friday" is certainly more redeeming than Springsteen's rendition...
