it's a shame they didn't realise the second cd boxset with the rarer and unreleased albums and the dvd set of the stuff previously out on video as i was really looking forward to it. it was nice to get some of the 12"s on the limited 45rpm 2cd set though

Some of the aforementioned bands were successful in their own right, Pixies, Throwing Muses and Captain Beefheart. They produced challenging and interesting music with artistic integrity.
If you are talking about commercially successful, I would respectfully suggest that many bands are not motivated by seeking such success.

The Alarm.
It was 25 years last weekend since the release of Declaration, and it's still an excellent LP.
