I guess you really haven't heard all of the music these days.
There is (was) a band who destroyed all of the images of 'top ten'
radio and who were not conformists. They refused to be conformists,
and even when they started to become popular, just more than a cult
following, they decided they were TOO popular and broke up. Not many
bands would do this, unless they felt like they would change the way
they sound. The hardcore scene was built around this band, yet not many 
people heard of Minor Threat. They were it. Ask anybody who saw them.

Don't get me wrong. I like Kraftwerk and Tangerine Dream, and I am
a big fan of Eno's. But they don't begin to match the intensity of what
Minor Threat. And I have seen a lot of hardcore bands come and go.
You would have to see them to believe them. Sorry Bill, but you 
made yourself sound like a fool. And just think, you didn't
even try that hard !
