Proof that most people don't mind what it is they're known for, so long as they're first! ;\)

Some early influences that I would personally credit the 'Industrial' movement to would be Sigue Sigue Sputnik, who are classified as 'Punk', but definately have heavy Industrial remnants in their music. As well as 'Pet Shop Boys', who are way more 'Pop' and not metal, but still kind of ushered in that style of recording in my opinion.
