They can be used to discuss their sound but people do it to say a band is important as they are original or they are important as they were influential. I think a band is important as the music is good to me. Influence is partly through chance and fashion and isn't always good either, and originality is nearly always way overstated and ignores other people so as to focus on the favoured artist.
