The five most influential aircraft in commercial aviation history:

Ford Tri-Motor
Douglas DC-3
Lockheed Constellation
Boeing 707
Boeing 747

There are plenty of other contenders that people loved / love, from the Stratocruiser to the L-1011 to Concorde, that were exciting or beautiful but hardly influential.
