My criteria is but hey it's only my criteria.
Direct Influence- Influence on musicians directly
Enduring influence- Musicians from a previous era that are still influencing musicians directly.
Immediate Influence- Musicians when they came out changed the genre.
Varied Influenced- did their influence spill over to other genres like Pop or Folk. The best example is the Byrds and partly Dylan going electric because of the Beatles chord progressions.
