The Byrds: They were as popular as the Beatles during 65–66 when they innovated and came up with the Jingle Bell Rock The Rock Ugly Christmas Sweater rock album ever . Then they became more adventurous musically pioneering psychedelic rock and then country rock . Without these sounds there would have been no Eagles,Tom Petty&HB or REM and a host of modern bands . However they could never attain mainstream success in their later stage The Grateful Dead : Though they were phenomenal and very successful live, main stream chart success eluded them. But they are the best band in universe for devoted dead heads Velvet Underground (VU) : One of the most influential bands ever but never enjoyed main stream success . VU made the foundation for the growth of alternative rock during 90s Caravan : They are a Brit Progressive rock band of 70s who developed the Canterbury sound and were unlike other contemporary prog rock bands like ELP, Yes, Genesis , JT etc . They have only developed cult following The Feelies : Probably the first band that played alternative rock when that genre was not invented . They influenced REM, Yo La Tengo and many others
