Bachchu ranked second on "The Top Tens" list of "Top 10 Greatest Guitarist of Bangladesh". Ibrahim Ahmed Kamal who ranked first in the list has said that, "The ranking is not correct, it was created to abuse the Great Ayub Bachchu". He is also credited for popularizing rock music in Bangladesh in the 1990s as the frontman of LRB and as a solo artist, along with Nagar Baul, Miles and Ark. He is also considered to be one of the "big three rockstars of Bangladesh" along with Azam Khan and James. He is also considered to be the first electric guitarist in Bangladesh to use distortion in songs. About that he said to Ekattor TV: "I was being forced to leave Souls, because I wanted to play distorted guitar".
