They had a huge influence. I’m not a Beatles fan yet I can see this.
They arguably created the first hard rock song ever.
They were pionneers of progressive rock.
They were precursors of doom metal.
And I’m probably forgetting some and surely don’t know all of the influence they had.
And they undoubtly had great variety in their songs and experimented a lot.
I don’t see how that’s controversial. I often do this when I see bands I like play live, to protect my ears.
