Beatles - mega-impact
Stones - big impact
Neither are overrated in that regards. Nirvana had a sizable impact on music, just like the Clash and Ramones did. They were leaders of new generations/eras of pop music.

Yup. Plus newer generations are even further from the influential time period.
We ran a media study at work when Micheal Jackson died. It was about artists' influence in music. The college kid who made the list of influential artists left Elvis off the list. And that's Presley, not Costello.
