Yeah. In the case of The Cramps or B-52s there was also a bravery in doing something very unfashionable when it came out, whereas every town now has a Psych Fest with a list of bands doing the psych/jam/kraut thing (the doom aspect is a slightly unique touch I guess). There's just so much music out there, yet it seems like every hip record store has the same 13th Floor Elevators and CAN records on display.. c'mon, dig a little deeper.
