It either is, or it isn't. No middle ground

I'm curious your background then as you are clearly interested enough to post to /music but never heard of a band that would reliably be placed in top 20 UK bands of all time and have an album that Rolling Stone listed as the best of the 80s.

Do you just have a punk blindspot? If so, say and I am 100% sure you will quickly get 10 further bands and albums you should check out.

There was a MacGuffin, they chased the MacGuffin. Some one named MacGuffin turned up from the dead. They MacGuffined a bit, then they all went home, happily MacGuffined.
