The Beatles made the rock band bigger than the Elvis types. The Beatles played in the first big stadium concert. Sorry to Buddy Holly or Chuck Berry it took the Beatles to establish the songwriter/ rock band/ without a focal point rock band. They had a huge influence on Progressive Rock and the start of Heavy Metal with songs like "Helter Skelter, and the Proto Gloomy Metal of "I Want You". Countless of Indie Bands are influenced by songs like 'Rain, Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said and I'm Only Sleeping.

The Velvet Underground who I like influenced a small fraction of rock music and none in Pop Music. They should not even been on this list to be honest.

The Velvet Underground probably influenced most of my favourite bands , and I willing to give them credit for that even though I don't like them a huge amount.
