I think you're argument is confusing because you're confusing musical history with personal taste. What constitutes a "success story" in your mind? Commercial success? In which case REM are the biggest "success story" surely?
And Dinosaur are a success story and so are most of the bands you mention because they sold more records after the period you're talking about.
I think your argument could be summed up more easily by saying this:
"I prefer their early stuff".
