But this is where "having an impact" and "being ground breaking" are two completely different things. They simply streamlined several genres into one that sounds essentially like the cleaned up version of those genres. They didn't innovate in any way, they simply made music similar to others but cleaner and with a couple more hooks. They streamlined a sound, they didn't break ground on anything new whatsoever. Did they have an impact? Only if record sales are the basis of impact. And if that's the basis of impact, you have to say NSYNC is more impactful to music than Judas Priest. Ummm, no.
