La Monte Young / Theater of Eternal Music:
John Cale went on to Velvet Underground, huge influence on all music thereafter.
Tony Conrad, influence on Jim O'Rourke and lots of more academic post-rock (e.g. Tortoise)
Rhys Chatham began musical career as piano tuner for La Monte Young, took what he learned there to guitar-based minimalism, influenced too many NY guitar bands to mention.
etc, etc.
