I have trouble taking Van Halen seriously as a hard rock ban.
Or I just have trouble taking those guys seriously, at all.
Maybe it’s because I was older when they hit it big, but their stuff sounded pretty vanilla to me.
Plus lol at DLR

Well I have a hard time taking you seriously as a poster so it's a wash in my book.

When they hit it big in 1978, they definitely were a serious rock band. Like most bands did in the 80's they slowly became more pop though...
As far as influential, the inspired a lot of the hair metal movement, even though that's not really how they began.

? Their sound was from another planet compared to what was around at the time they hit the scene. I would say they are a bigger influence than anyone on that list.
And EVH is just below Leo Fender and Les Paul on the list of innovators of the electric guitar.

I've yet to catch any of my kids, nor any of my kids' friends, jamming out to some Van Halen. They're a complete afterthought to anyone born after 1980. This is not what you'd expect from one of the top 5 influential American hard rock bands. They don't even come close to making the list.
