Well it has to be a yes from me. Let's have some points why.

They are still going after 30 years making music with a line up that's been there since 1983.
They consistently put on great live shows and always sell out and we are not talking about smaller and smaller venues with each tour.
They were arguably the first band to define fan merchandise and set the template for many metal bands to follow.
Regarded as one of the most friendly down to earth bunch of people you would ever wish to meet despite their popularity.
Lead singer Bruce is also an Olympic standard fencer. He is a qualified airline pilot and is also an author, DJ and screenwriter- just in case people think lead singers in metal are thick as fuk.
They have influenced every metal band from Metallica to Slayer and many in between.
I wouldn't be talking about music if it wasn't for them. Simple really.
