Are they unique? They may have been at the time but at any point in the past 25 years? It's like when you watch a really old film that people rave about because it did so many new hugely influential things but when you watch it you've already seen it done hundreds of times and some of those times better.
Rating guitarists and drummers is a bit childish and just takes things off topic. They're considered great because people like them to me who doesn't really like them it's pretty irrelevant. Innovation is also very of it's time. How influential a band/album is isn't really all that relevant to how much I like them.
I dunno a lot of bands that you hear people rave about ultimately aren't going to do that much for you but when you do find stuff it's great. Especially because there has been enough time for that music to sew its seed into other bands around and it gives you a whole trail of new shit you might be into.
The first time I heard this comes to mind.
