I've never liked them this much, but I don't doubt their importance. Often, people tend to overrate them in certain aspects and underestimate them in others. Scaruffi's crusades are useless; on the other hand, there are biased critics who serve us phrases like "they are the best ever and invented everything (rock, pop, psychedelia, prog, etc.)," thus belittling the merits of other great contemporary bands. Nonetheless, they are one of the most important and influential groups of all time, and this, whether you like them or not, must be acknowledged.
