bad religion has some catchy stuff, but i wouldnt consider their talent to be tribute worthy. since i dont recognize any of the bands on the list, ill just go ahead and assume that they are really just trying to tribute themselves.

I would put Bad Religion within the 100 most important bands of the last 50 years. They almost single handedly transformed american punk rock from mundane to interesting both lyrically (bad religion's lyrics actually weighed in as insightful while most other punk bands' lyrics could barely be classified as english) and musically (their mastery of vocal harmony was to my knowledge, unprecedented in punk music). You can also draw a fairly straight line from bad religion to pretty much any punk rock band formed since their inception (especially in california) and their formula is still being copied to this day (check out the first track "we called it america" from NOFX's most recent album and compare it to anything Bad Religion did in the late 80's early 90's).

As for the bands on the tribute, they obviously stuck to independent artists though I would say the majority of those on the list are pretty popular in north america at least.
