Apparently so was Al Jourgensen of Ministry himself, back in the day. According to legend, he hated having his debut album, "With Sympathy", made to sound so "technopop", blaming the producers (Ian Taylor & Vince Ely) as well as his label as the time (Arista Records). Jourgensen clearly never intended for Ministry to sound like "dance club music". Thus he kept recording on Wax Trax!, the main indepedent label for his hometown of Chicago's '80s indie scene. Another big act on that label was Front 242--Jourgensen and Luc Van Acker of Front 242 also collaborated on their own pet project, a band called The Revolting Cocks.
