Uh... yea. Even though the man was a bit misguided in some of his philosophical views, Karlheinz Stockhausen (an electronic composer) could very well be considered just as important as Beethoven. I also consider Alva Noto (a minimalist/electronic artist) to be just as creative as Duke Ellington, and he's one of those "crappy" musicians from the 21st Century that you keep going on about.
