peope are INFLUENCED by bands' MUSIC
the Beatles are the single most covered band in the world. their songs have been covered countless times by artists ranging the ful spectrum of rock, blues, jazz, opera, country, R&B, folk, bluegrass, metal, etc etc.
there is noone else to compare.
they are arguably the greatest songwriters in rock history.
Impossible to overrate.
Not impossible to dislike, but impossible to dismiss.
The beatles saved my life at 12, and sonic youth saved my life at 16.
