Whether or not they're important, I find it quite interesting to talk about the influences of a band and the "originality" of a band (which often ties in to the way they sound in general, which is worthy of discussion of course). So I do think these things are worthy of discussion, but yes - the thing of prime importance is the music itself and whether or not you enjoy it on any level.
