For example, Carl Perkins and The Everly Brothers were big influences on The Beatles, Link Wray and Eddie Cochran was a big influence on The Who and Howlin Wolf and Robert Johnson were big influences on The Stones, but you would have to be out of your damn mind to think they match those bands in direct influence AND impact.
