DBWI: What if Gang of Four never played TOTP?

Remember that classic episode of Top of The Pops that featured Gang of Four? The one with that version of 'At Home He's a Tourist?'. Apparently, they almost didn't play because of a disagreement with the producer over the songs lyrics.

Imagine if they walked...

Would they still be considered Kings of Post Punk? My friend's Dad has fond memories of their tour with Mission of Burma; Rolling Stone voted it as the top tour of 1984.
