That doesn't mean that the bands they will influence will be any good though.
If we didn't have Syd Barrett or the Velvet Underground then Alternative music may not exist at all or if Mozart got drunk instead of writing music then we may not have any modern music.
I grew up with The Beatles and appreciate their music but they are not the be all and end all of music as we know it and people should accept criticism of their music like any other artistes.
