its Black Flag. i mean most "loud rock" is influenced by Black Flag because they started the underground hardcore punk scene. after recording and touring continuously for 6 years, they had spread hardcore punk throughout the US and then broke up. but since then, numerous hardcore bands started, and then most of them broke into the mainstream. examples are Rise Against, Bleeding Through, Give Up The Ghost, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Hope Conspiracy, and so many more.

Here's the Rise Against cover of Black Flag- Nervous Breakdown.
