If I understand Lindsey's general idea accurately, I think that the "influence" a lot of these bands left on Lindsey was at least as much about approach & conception as it was about actual sounds---maybe more so, even.

Yes, I totally agree, and after hearing "Tusk" SO many times over the years, it is possible to quite clearly identify how and from who (or perhaps it would be better to say "from which groups") Lindsey got the ideas for some of his songs. Like you said, not really anything to do with the sound, but "approach and conception".
