It's one of those things, where one rather unknown artist wound up influencing an entire generation of other artists. He took the Beatles and the Bryds, especially Roger McGuinn's jangly guitar, to the next logical step. It's a long list of acts that never would have existed without Mr Chilton, including REM, the Bangles, Television, Cheap Trick... and thus a whole nother generation of guitar pop.

You know the theme for That 70s Show? That was Chilton's band's debut single.
