"Double Nickels on the Dime rewrote the rules for what a punk band–or just a band in general–could be, and it still sounds radical today. It’s not hard to hear the album’s influence on anyone from the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Guided by Voices to Fugazi, but for the most part, the Minutemen’s vast influence tends to come through on a spiritual and ideological level. No other band sounds like Double Nickels on the Dime, and I don’t know if anyone even could if they tried."
