Which noise music artists actually broke through to a wide audience before Spotify?

Merzbow and Lou Reed come to mind.

Edit: Yoko Ono

I had an earlier reply to this, but upon re-reading it, I thought it came off as a little inflammatory, which I did not intend, so I deleted it.

But I think it is a little disingenuous to call those artists "noise artists" insofar as their mainstream success is concerned.

black dice?
