I agree it's hard to say what song had the most influence or artist. The Beatles were not thinking techno or big-beat when they recorded "Tomorrow Never Knows". I doubt they were thinking hip-hop when they used backward vocals on "Rain" and drum looping on "Strawberry Fields Forever". People are just acknowledging their influence and innovation. I don't think anyone is saying the Beatles invented techno or hip-hop. But their concepts are very common in those genres.
