I think Dinosaur Jr, The Fall and Bauhaus are more acclaimed and influential than Billy Idol.
Imagine Dragons also look way too high. Cocteau Twins, Faith No More, DJ Shadow, Daddy Yankee, The Emotions, just to name a few clearly take acclaim and influence over them. I wouldn't have them higher than Goree Carter, since Carter is easily more influential, just as Imagine Dragons are easily more popular, while Carter would take acclaim by virtue of the fact that every single artist on this list takes acclaim over Imagine Dragons. I guess I'd have them next to The Bangles and Bad Company.
Otherwise nothing I can't live with.
