Major artists that have a wide-ranging impact on other artists is not surprising. By definition it's 'the norm'. But what REALLY interests me is why some people are relatively unaffected by them.
Even better... when minor/fringe artists have an outsized impact. What does that say about their artistic compass?
Are they suffering some form of declination? Or are they more likely to be innovators?

I have many personal anecdotal experiences... but perhaps a more famous example would be Frank Zappa?
While he was (and is) hailed as an foundational innovator, he DESPISED most of the music happening around him like Velvet Underground, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Toto, and many more. At the same time he valued the guitar prowess of Allan Holdsworth over Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page.
