I always fall back on these things. They were the first popular act to write their own material. They were the first band to gain world-wide celebrity statis. Last they were the first group to have complete artist control over the music they were making. These 3 things opened the flood gates for every artist that followed them. To say they are over-rated is beyond crazy.

Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry were very popular and wrote their own material. So did the Beach Boys, although they are chronologically contemporary.
