Heheh some good "undergound" bands mentioned here... Mission of Burma, 'Surfers, Minutemen, Cramps and Chrome!
Heh no one ever knows who Chrome is. Helios Creed and Damon Edge really had a pioneering sound way back then. So many effects and samples that seemed show the way of things to come. Later Damon Edge stuff kinda sucked but Helios remained interesting for a short time. Had a friend that played drums for them on some european tour.
Don't forget to add Wire and Band of Susans to the list above.
<strong>Well, if NIN qualifies, then surely KMFDM, Skinny Puppy, Pop Will Eat Itself, Einsturzende Neubauten, and Throbbing Gristle should in here too!</strong><hr></blockquote>
Throbbing Gristle was all about stylish anti-style and psuedo-mystagogy . . . people liked them for their "extreme" attitudes, which I found pretty boring, seeing as the music itself was pretty bad . . . at least the avant-garde-ness of their schtick was kinda interesting . . . for a minute . . . but they quiclky became a cult of personality around their vague ideas about energies, transgression and W. Burroughs . . . .

The Dream Syndicate was great!!! for one album
just like RainParade . . . great for one album and half an EP then down hill way too fast after key members left
