Good call. A band I enjoy whenever they're playing, but I don't ever really reach for.

I'll with with: The Stone Roses. And a lot of britpop, actually.

Muppet's either going to kill you or clutch his chest and collapse.

But I agree. Historically vital and some classic songs, but the extent of their catalogue dilutes matters significantly.

Siouxsie and the Banshees. Decent band, some cool singles, and one great album (Dreamhouse), but on the whole? They were okay.
