Posted this in another thread, but had they only released their first album and split up 80s Matchbox B-line Disaster would have been regarded as our generations Stooges in years to come. But let’s think of some others. These can either be in terms of music, or cultural impact.

Our generation’s:

Stooges → 80s Matchbox
Black Sabbath → Electric Wizard
Aerosmith → Kings of Leon
The Beach Boys → Futureheads
Bob Dylan → Ed Sheeran (think about it, it makes sense)
Velvet Underground → Kasabian
David Bowie → Lady Gaga
Genesis → Radiohead
Elton John → Andrew W.K.
Kiss → Turbonegro

Comedy answers also welcome.

Sad!

Miley is clearly Britney.

At a push Miley could also be Tiffany.
