Influence and Covers
Energy is widely regarded as a pivotal album of ska-core. Many artists have covered the songs on Energy (and Hectic), including the tribute album Take Warning: The Songs of Operation Ivy. The Leftöver Crack song "Gay Rude Boys Unite" is a parody of "Unity" and the introduction music is deliberately similar to that of "Yellin' in My Ear". Goldfinger covered the song "Smiling" on their live album Foot in Mouth (2000). Millencolin covered the song "Knowledge" for their "Skauch" EP. Green Day covered the song "Knowledge" for their Slappy EP, and they continue to play the song at live performances (even pulling audience members on stage to play instruments).

Famous quotes containing the words influence and/or covers:
“What arouses the indignation of the honest satirist is not, unless the man is a prig, the fact that people in positions of power or influence behave idiotically, or even that they behave wickedly. It is that they conspire successfully to impose upon the public a picture of themselves as so very sagacious, honest and well-intentioned.”
—Claud Cockburn (1904–1981)
“The covers of this book are too far apart.”
—Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
