Which is fine if you're saying that as your subjective opinion, but you are presenting it as fact.
Those musicians are simply examples of musicians that had a major effect on music in some way, enjoyed by thousands of people - exactly like The Beatles to a larger or lesser extent in some cases. It could well be argued, for example, that Brian Eno through producing U2, through being in Roxy Music and through his vast array of solo work, is one of the most prolific and influential musicians to ever have lived. Whether or not you LIKE his work is irrelevant.
Same thing with the Sex Pistols, they brought a sound to the masses which completely changed the way a lot of people viewed and interacted with music. I personally can't stand their music, and feel there are far better punk bands around and that far better bands came before them that made more influential punk music. However you can't argue, objectively speaking, with what they achieved.
