I actually view him as a dead end.
Quick, name a great composer whose major influence was Prokofiev...
That's that way I feel about Stravinsky.
Whereas Debussy's fingerprints are all over so much modern music--and Messaien I think will in the future be regarded as more influential than he has been.
But that's just my personal take.
