At one point, the Stooges were a virtually unknown band, but they managed to radically change music, simply because those who were open-minded enough to go out to their shows were so influenced that they went on to start bands that defined genres. Afterwards, of course, with Iggy's commercial success and what not they did garner some recognition.
Today, that isn't really the case anymore, especially with things like myspace and whatnot that any original artists are overwhelmed by the flood of pop-punkers who want to be rock stars and get a record deal instead of making lasting music.
