I've never read anything supporting the existence of band members other than Rev and Vega, nor the use of any conventional rock instruments. Maybe this is true, but I'd like to see some citation before including this in the entry. -Bert 171.159.64.10 23:52, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
I also added a reference to No Wave. This is a little controversial, and in fact I would say they are not part of the movement by virtue of having predated it by a number of years. However, others disagree. This link here includes two professional critics discussing Suicide as part of the No Wave movement (the other musicians they discuss are unquestionably No Wave). http://www.slate.com/id/2137333/entry/2137335/ -Bert
The discography appears to be wrong. At least according to www.discogs.com and www.allmusic.com. If someone knows the correct listing, please add it. Damiancorrigan 00:09, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] More Sources and Fact Checking
This article makes some pretty hefty claims. The claims need to be backed up by solid sources. If they want to say they pre-date Kraftwerk some evidence needs to be provided for this. However very intriguing and looks like a decent start for an article. long way from a feature though... (Xsxex 18:22, 30 June 2006 (UTC))
[edit] punk?
considering that they predated the punk movement by five years and, quite frankly, bear almost no resemblance to proper punk, i think it's fair to take this out. 67.172.61.222 22:02, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
They cirtainly didn't "predate the punk movement by five years" considering that their first album came out in 1977 which is coincidentaly the same year that Never Mind The Bollocks by The Sex Pistoles came out. Also, not to sound cliche, but punk is more about an attitude than a defined sound.
- they formed in 1970. 67.172.61.222 01:34, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

- Right, they formed 1971, same year as New York Dolls and just three years before The Ramones. As far as I know, their only recordings are '77 and onwards, their unrecorded style could have been easily have been completely different. So considering their era, their originally and lack of musical constraints, two things often associated with punk and their influence on and bonds with other artists and bands in the scene of the time it seems a fair enough genre choice. --Grimboy 21:18, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
