Parents what are they good for?

Some may cook for you, wash your clothes, etc. but that not what im thinking of...
Although my Mums taste in music rarely branches away from elvis presley, my dads taste in music is genuinly quite good!

In listening to various collections of my dads music, i have noticed that new bands infact sound the same as old bands from the 1970s and 1980s... just a few examples:

The Libertines - Early stuff from The Cure
The Killers - Echo and the Bunnymen
The Strokes - Velvet Underground

Im sure there are several more that i cant remember, but other bands from this sort of period worth listening to:
The Who, The Doors, The Clash, T-Rex, The Jam
