maybe 1 and 2 to an extent but the rest... really?
you couldn't get people to stop talking about how unbelievably amazing Joy Division was 6-7 years ago - when Interpol first hit big and indie was some kind of new big thing. even now, Joy Division is basically the Led Zeppelin to anyone with a sideways haircut.
Blue Cheer gets brought up every single time someone talks about The Stooges.
it's not possible to have a conversation about Experimental or Avant Garde music without someone going off about the Residents.
they might not get critical recognition in the mainstream, but that's also the mainstream that celebrates Lady Gaga as being a true
artiste with
depth. what do you honestly expect to come out of that demographic?
