You're kind of making my point, Joy Divison is the most recognized out of my list, but they don't get the praise they should in influencing the Emo music scene, thats my point with Blue Cheer you have to mention The Stooges for someone will even think about Blue Cheer and they were probably the Godfathers of metal. As for The Resident isn't the whole Avant Garde scene about not being recogized, but they influenced for much that no one knows about banRAB like Primus and They Might Be Giants. There was even a reference on The Simpsons to the single Santa Dog' 92 that a lot of people didn't understand.
