I would definitely say so, yes. Varese and Stockhausen were certainly pioneers but let's not confuse pioneering with influence.

Well, the Beatles are boring, and so are most indie rock bands - especially those formed after Oasis killed the genre in 1995.
The Beatles are THE prototype for a generic pop band.
The Velvet Underground are THE prototype for an artistic pop band.

Because the Beatles spawned even more uninspired and boring middle-of-the-road rock bands that are currently poisoning the minds of my peers.
