Their fame is certainly warranted, since they entered rock history as one of the most memorable media phenomena at the end of the 1980s. There is no doubt that they brought something new to rock music, and besides their music, it was their lyrics with shocking obscenity, honesty and intellectuality that rocked the boat.
