Animal Collective and Mars Volta are good answers.
But I'm going to say U2.
If it wasn't for them we wouldn't have Coldplay, we wouldn't have Explosions in the Sky, we wouldn't have the Postal Service, and a bunch of other lame sucky U2 inspired bands. And as a bonus we wouldn't have U2.
The only negative would be that those 5-6 good songs they did would never have been made.
