Glice and demonrail: completely agree with your points but something needs to be said about the argument of tg and the sex pistols.
throbbing gristle begat the sex pistols.
and it's not "it goes on forever" with this, not only were tg and coum transmissions one of the first real and non-theatrical shock bands/collectives, they were also ones that defied the idea of good taste and art with that of trash and disgust. more importantly though, is that if coum and tg hadn't already achieved some notoriety in the uk, it wouldn't have been safe enough for the mclaren to apply a more appealing to a wider public version of what they were doing.
had there not be a genesis p-orridge and co. before the pistols, they wouldn't have had the balls to talk about anarchy and insult the queen and just go on a terror campaign through britain like they did.
