The point of the piece is that there is never really "silence". If you watch a performance of 4'33, you will hear many noises in the concert hall. No instruments, of course, but music is not always made with instruments, is it? That said, Cage is a great innovator in classical music. The prepared piano has been used by many modern artists, from Trent Reznor to Aphex Twin.
Also, Screamin' Jay Hawkins was the first heavy vocalist. If you like his vocals, you can get into some death metal vocals.
