I guess what I'm saying is, maybe you don't like Beatles, Rolling Stones, or Nirvana's music, and can say that you don't like their music, but you can't deny that they have/had tremendous musical talent. That's what gave them the power to influence the path of music. They may have had the apperance and style to influence the masses, but they all possesed incredible musical talent and the ability to write music that people wanted to hear.

See, I agree with your first paragraph...
Most of the music I listen too is much more advanced in theory, playing, and composition versus the crap that will influence the path of popular music... but yet, stupid ass repetitive verses and crappy tunes on a loop machine will cause a greater "change" in people's tastes?
The general public is by nature dumb, so bah. I will stick with my judgment, nirvana... and grunge kill me.
