Ain't that the truth!

IMHO The Sundays' body of work is quite respectable, and you have to give 
the band credit for coming back together after the raise-the-kid hiatus.

Whereas I quickly got tired of Tracy Chapman's "the homeless are gonna rise 
up" rhetoric.

For a lot of groups, their debuts while promising weren't the full flower 
of the Band That Was to Be:

Talking Heads
The Who
Loggins and Messina
The Mothers
Grateful Dead
Little Feat

plus, of course, the leaders of the British invasion ...
