No, I agree, that most punk bands remain quite rightly forgotten.. it was a fad, much as noise could be perceived to be now.. i don't necessarilly see why this renders it any less artistically valid... I think bands like Wolf Eyes who release a new limited CD-R each week are kind of pursuing a perverse hobby as opposed to pursuing any sort of standard musical career... it is more like an on-going art project, mimicking philosphies of industrial production, much like Throbbing Gristle were intersted in doing as I understand... I'm not a huge fan of punk myself, had a brief phase a few years ago... regarding accessability to music, well I play in a noise band myself and I think the quote about noise "being more fun to play than to listen to" definitely applies a lot of the time... But there are still gems appearing all the time, recordings and live actions by noise bands that are completely exhilarating... due to the prolific nature of noise artists, these gems can be harder to find...
In summing up, I would say that a lot of noise is throwaway, tedious, self-indulgent... but in a way, that's kind of the point...
