Alan Vega and Martin Rev are two of the greatest artists on the New York music scene. In solo or with ''Suicide'', they were at the origin of contemporary musical styles like electro and punk. Without them, no Nine Inch Nails, New Order, Depeche Mode, Radiohead, Aphex Twin or Daft Punk.
Rolling Stone Magazine ranks Suicide's (1977) first album in its list of the 500 greatest records of all time.
