I thought Aphex Twin was popular, or somewhat so. Mark Foster cites AT and the Beach Boys as major influence of FtP.
I have a friend who is into old Punk and UK Punk era bands (among other things) and I was talking about The Chesterfield Kings. He asked me if they were on youtube and I said 'yeah they do video of 99th Floor by The Moving Sidewalks' he responded "The Moving Sidewalks!? ... now you're getting esoteric on me." he made me lol irl.
Yeah, it can be a mixed blessing. I got some ribbing for like Alt-Rock when I was younger. It's almost like if it aint Bob Dylan or The Beatles who heard of them? yanowhatimean?
