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 ...
