Good point.

Didn't think about The Beatles, but Yes, KC, Genesis and many others have listed them as influences so they count I suppose.

But I dunno, everyone influenced by Chuck Berry probably shouldn't qualify as Rock, because I believe there are Reggae and Country musicians who are influenced by him, and by similar logic, if being influenced by John Coltrane makes you Jazz, The Doors would be Jazz.
