1. Never really got into them....

Owned a few of the albums. They weren't punk enough for my punk side, nor were they weird and artsy enough for my weird and artsy side. Not bad but any means, just didn't grab me by the throat the way a lot of bands from that time did.

2. They were my favorite band back in the late 70's & early 80's

Nowadays I find some of their early stuff a bit misogynist sounding, but I still enjoy listening "The Raven" & "Black & White"...two of my favorite albums...And don't get me wrong, there's still a lot of great stuff on their first coupla albums (as you mentioned with "No More Heros").

3. Peaches, brother. It's all about Peaches.

4. Some excellent tracks

I tend not to listen to their albums these days but have lifted some
of their best tracks onto CD/MD/tape compilations. They did superb
covers of some songs too (All Day & All of the Night, Walk On By) in
addition to their original work.

Saw them live a few years ago too and they were great!
