Agree 100%. Then in the 1970's it was the Sex Pistols. Not many people bought the album...but it definitely changed everything again.

And then the 1990's and Nirvana came along and changed it all again.

I don't believe that either the Sex Pistols or Nirvana are in the same league as the Beatles...but I do believe that both bands completely changed rock music in their respective time periods as much as Sgt. Peppers did in the 60's (again, neither band even came close to the genius of Sgt. Pepper but they DID change the direction of music)
