Burke Shelley's vocals have been compared to Geddy Lee due to his similar approach of high-pitched banshee wails. Although Budgie remained quite obscure during their early career, many future stars of hard rock/metal have cited them as an influence and covered their songs.Iron Maiden, Metallica, Van Halen, Melvins, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden have all cited Budgie as an important influence to their music.

Famous quotes containing the words musical, style and/or legacy:
“Hell is full of musical amateurs: music is the brandy of the damned.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“What is popularly called fame is nothing but an empty name and a legacy from paganism.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
