I disagree completely. They set a standard for the genre back with things like Classical Mushroom and BP Empire. The rest of their stuff was so-so, but only recently have they begun to stray from their roots and try to experiment with new stuff, and most people either love it or hate it with a passion. I hate their new stuff, but you have to admit the massive amount of influence they had on psytrance in general.
Just so you know, Infected Mushroom does not represent the entire psytrance genre. Just because they suck now doesn't mean the whole genre sucks.

My answer in two parts:
Part One:
Infected mushroom put out great music that is loved by millions
Part Two:
Fuck what you thought.
How is this for acting like I know what I am talking about?

I would say that they are largely responsible for turning the israeli scene into a garbage machine that massproduce full on trance. I thought that both Classical Mushroom and BP Empire were rather weak albums. Especially the latter one.
The end result being something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1D9EUgHt1zE

I'll let it speak for itself...
I agree with you on this for the most part on this. The Israeli scene was heavily influenced by them and Skazi for their main stream success which overshadowed some very good acts like Cosma for example. On the other hand, I think they have enough morning style parties in the middle of the desert to make up for the Astrix, GMS, IM, Skazi garbage, but I can't say that from first hand experience as I've only been to Israel once and I was too young to party.

They should make a South Park episode where all the town starts listening to I.M and Suckzi and everyone braggs about how underground it is.
Cartmen and Butters are planning to kill I.M and Skazi with the help of Dubfire and after they kill them they learn an important lesson - its all Tiesto's fault.

Infected mushroom put out great music! Infected Mushroom!
Hipsters listen to shit music
(some)hipsters have started listening to IM lately.
No one is saying they are crap because they are popular at all. No one says shpongle is crap because they are popular.
Jumping to conclusions and suggesting we are immature. How mature.

it got nothing to do with that they are popular you idiot.
Astral Projection is one of the most popular acts in trance music ever. I still find most of their production as excellent.

You can't deny that Infected Mushroom had a few good tracks, but a large body of their work doesn't get me going at all. Duv dev's voice is simply terrible.
The full-on movement was bound to happen without Infected Mushroom. While I think they had some influence, I disagree with the opinion that they were responsible for it. Most full-on sucks, but there ARE good tracks out there, and denying it means you just haven't heard any yet
Infected Mushroom!
damn you
