I don't care about RHCP to make any form of judgment about them. I like a lot of music the beatles influenced, like Eletric Light Orchestra, but prog rock was more of a mix of blues, jazz and classical, with a nice bit of psychedelia thrown in. It would have happened without the Beatles. It might not have been as popular if the other big band hadn't gone psychedelic, but it would have been there. Also "hearing the beatles" could be said just the same of any of the other bands similar to the of the era.
King Crimson respected the beatles, and Happy Family is one of my favourites from Lizard, but just because they like them doesn't mean I have to. I used to like the Beatles for quite awhile, but I can't listen to them now becuase I'd just much rather be listening to something interesting.
