There are things Sun Ra did that the Beatles didn't do but at the same time Sun Ra didn't do things the Beatles did. In the end you might not like hearing this but the things the Beatles did reached more people than Sun Ra did and frankly Frank Zappa who was a satirical composer and not really a songwriter IMO. I remember reading how members of the Velvet Underground poking fun at Zappa at the Beatles beating him at his own game.
It's reality the Beatles have influenced more musicians than your so-called underground groups is because the Beatles had the right combination of melody, song structure and experimenation. If you think Sun Ra has influenced more musicians than the Beatles or more innovative you are sadly mistaken. Do me a favor read the link below maybe you might get what I am saying.

You seem to be projecting a lot of odd things onto my posts that I haven't actually said. Very odd. It's also kind of odd that you're trying to "prove" your case with a non-functioning link. Strange but sort of fitting.
