Slayer haven't done that much. They've influenced quite a few metal bands around but hardly a huge overall impact.
Green Day have hardly had time to impact on a mass scale. They weren't exactly glamourised for their earlier better stuff, while their later stuff is getting all the glory but it isn't that flash, it just suits the trends of modern punk pop rock today, a trend which will hopefully mature sometime soon.
The others are good and worthy contributors to a mass of music but I'd again stick with the Beatles. Analogy: A building would crumble without a solid foundation. The foundation for bands started with the Beatles.
Thats the way I see it anyway, sure there were others and some are more interesting musically then the Beatles but there simply had to be some band which truely was considered the building blocks for the bands of today, and to me thats the Beatles.
