[chairman of the bored]

Ever find a band that you adore, and are convinced are absolutely original, and later discover their rather clear influences? For me it was Boredoms...then I heard NEU! (and other krautrocksters) and Einsturzende Neubaten (and other avant-noisey types)...it doesn't detract from my love of Boredoms...just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with different bands. Or know where neu and neubaten got their sounds from...
