This group is likely the greatest electronic group this side of Kraftwerk. They were protopunk as well as being extreme minimalists. Alan Vega is a genius and I'm fairly certain that they influenced more people than any shitty prog rock band ever would have. Also I have to thank Suicide for inspiration as well as the existence for another group that needs to be inducted... Devo.

I must admit that you have really piqued my interest, since I have never heard of them. By the way, please tell me which prog band are you referring to?

More or less just bands like Yes, King Crimson, or bands like Rush that are already in the hall when they neglect the most influential artists in experimental music. Also another added bonus Rolling Stones 500 best albums of all time included Suicides debut album whereas none of the bands I listed appeared anywhere on the list
