Making an impact & being an influence are not the same thing

The Velvet Underground & The Stooges did next to nothing when they were around.It took something like 10 years for those bands to be recognised for their contribution.I don`t really consider that to be an impact.And even then it`s only really Punk/Indie they had an influence on,

To me an impact is a band that just goes BANG !!!!! WE`RE HERE as soon as they get heard.As much as I hate to say it you have to go for The Beatles for that as they made a huge impact on arrival & have influenced many different genres
