I think it's cause they had a very accessible sound, a sound that told aspiring musicians "Maybe i could do this sh*t too" and that's why they're considered very influential.

Plus Lou reed was f*ckin cool, he had a great voice.
though im not a big fan i can see why they were considered a big deal at the time.
