I doubt it.
It is impossible to downplay,or ignore, Karajan's astounding credentials
        Even after 20 years since his death, he is still enormously important. For a very long time-years, even decades, about one of every four classical records bought was a Karajan recording The important positions in the music world and awards he recieved are too numerous even to mention.
              HVK was a forward looking visionary, and very  interested in  technology as applied to music, being the first in  areas of technology  connected with music. There are a  whole plethora of  music  "firsts" connected with  Karajan.  Not even the  Beatles themselves  could rival all of this.

I would wager to say that Schoenberg was more influential from the past century. I would probably say Miles Davis or one of a few other jazz greats takes the 20th century title.

I wasn't even going to post in this thread because I thought it sounded silly until I saw the person suggested in the OP. LOL

Alexis Korner, "The founding father of British blues." Him with Cyril davies formed Blues Incorporated in the early '60's and many eventual great musicians passed through his band and his club. To list all the musicians would take me an hour. Keeping things in somewhat of the modern times.

Me, because if there had not been me, I wouldn't have heard any music, and that makes all music in the world meaningless.

But he used the word EVAH and not modern music or rock/pop.  I think calling Lennon the most influential ever is a bit much.
