I agree with you that they influenced music in the way you are defining it... for sure. I am just trying to take the conversation more into the realm of actual changes to how the music is structured or played. I guess I should change the term to INNOVATE.. I don't see either as big innovators but the bands I listed were.

It was their innovation that changed the direction of music.
A song like "She's Leaving Home" was groundbreaking and introduced the idea that musical instruments just making noise is music.
Now it's all just ****ing noise.
