Maybe you should do some research....
Whether you like a band or not these are simple facts to understand. For example I really can't stand The Beach Boys but I'm not going to spend my time trolling around saying that they're not influential or there were a million other bands better than them.

You misunderstand. The bands I listed
were influential on Hard Rock and Heavy Metal. Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were
very influenced by Garage bands of the 60's, borrowing the distorted guitar work, the slamming drumming, and the fun keyboard work (which Deep Purple in particular had a ball with) that Garage Rock and Psychadelia made popular. In fact, that's exactly where
all of those bands you listed got their starts. Even Bob Seger was in a crazy garage band ("The Mushrooms"), you know.
If we're going to have a "who made who?" fight, you're going to lose this one.
