Heard of them, but never listened before.
I'm listening now. I like. :]

they have an interesting career arc
that's from their first album, back in the days when they were basically punk. over the next few albums they flirted with rem-like folk rock, then with u2-like stadium rock, then more rem, and then told the lead singer to fuck off and record his damned fucking folk albums under his own name so that they could get back to playing rock. he did (and they're superb too, if you like folk), they did.
they're still a great band, but the early stuff has a ramshackle charm about it.
