I love early Killing Joke, but I fear that the main influence they may have had on a lot of bands is to say that if a good post-punk band were to compromise their principles and let the producers and label call the shot, they could be marketed as "alternative" and make a stab at the mainstream. Thankfully that proposition didn't influence Sonic Youth, who never made the equivalent of a "Brighter Than 1,000 Suns" or "Outside the Gate".
