The ways some musicians end up being respected differs from one to another as there are many reasons such a thing can occur then, because there is no set rule in here. For instance, Sakamoto is respected thanks to him being himself most of the time. Of course, the 80's were really special to him, since he managed to work well within his band and on his own. The latter works showed he kept in touch with the modern developments in the electronic music, yet he rarely replicated them. You see, while he always searched for what was contemporary, he rarely tried to make that completely copied, he put his own touches. B-2 Unit – to give you an example – outdid whatever the synthpop at the time did with some Sakamotian touches.
