As I said, I have no problem appreciating what they did for music. I understand it was a huge contribution. But just because they were a great contributor to the technique, ideas, hardware, w/e, doesn't mean their music was any good. Technically impressive for the time, yes, but the music itself may or may not be good. Another way of putting it would be the Motorola Razr phone (the old flip-phone one). It completely revolutionized phones, and at the time it was amazing (to the point where everyone copied it). By today's standards, the phone is a piece of shit. But what it did for phones was amazing and people can appreciate that while recognizing that it's not all that great of a phone. So knowing the history might make you appreciate it more, it doesn't make it better.
