Bad Religion, Sex Pistols, and Green Day (actually pop-punk, which is still punk in a way) are a few punk rock bands. The subgenre influenced thrash metal because of it's down stroked guitar playing and other factors.

A uniquely inspirational genre that kind of relates to rock. This genre is a genuis for certain catchy elements.

The Contenders
11 Hard Rock Hard Rock is a subgenre of rock music known for having heavier guitar riffs/solos. It originated around 1964-1965 with various Garage Rock bands.

12 Pop Music

Don't know why this isn't on the list. This is a genre 100% defined by its catchiness, its easiness to get stuck in your head, and its streamlined setup designed to be easy to hook onto and repeat. There are plenty of catchy songs which aren't pop, but this is definitely the catchiest genre. The problem with pop is that it usually embraces catchiness to such an extent it drops any other factor that makes a song good, leaving a product designed to get stuck in your head against your will or actual enjoyment.
