And with just that one album, it might have easily gotten in top punk lists even after 1977. Another good example is Refused and their third album, which got seriously good reviews. Refused reviews. Heh. But their first two were pretty meh in terms of all three criterion I mentioned.

Their influence and popularity are largely because of their trailblazer status. I love
Nevermind the Bollocks, but in a vacuum it would not make them a Big Four band.
