U2 showed the world that effects pedals could make ****ty chart toppers. Loveless showed the world that you could use them to make music that not only doesn't make you want to kill yourself in hopes of finding a reincarnated life where people around you didn't have such godawful taste in music, but is also pretty great.
Tl;dr sans sarcasm, consider the release date of Loveless and how innovative it was in its original context.
