That doesn't change the influence they had. It was like a musical uturn. Tool, GnR, Metallica, Rage or any other major band from the era was less influential as Nirvana and Pearl Jam had a ripple like effect through pretty much anything closely related to rock and roll. This is regardless of how many albums they sold or what people think of their music. I don't listen to any of those bands regularly but can recognize the impact they had.
Oh I completely agree with their impact. I just said Guns N' Roses sort of started bridging the gap between hair metal and grunge.
