Apart from Devo, the next band on my list that I find the most irritating.

Also, REM and They Might Be Giants.

Oh, and that other bunch of twats , Future islands.

Can you imagine been in a shite band like the Toy Dolls though?
You are only remembered for that one hit which was also absolute shite.

The guitar player is now also the guitarist in Cockney Rejects, I hope to fook the Rejects don’t ever let him play Nellie the fucking Elephant.

I used to hate REM but their early 80s stuff is pretty good.

Thought they were like a comedy band, all the stuff I heard was shite, similar to The Dickies in my eyes

Ive always loved REMs first 3 IRS albums, and surrounding singles, and thats all you really need from them.

Oh dear, G'd forbid. With the Rejects it's like the Buzzcocks and The Stranglers, just one original member left ...

Btw the bassist of the Toy Dolls is now the frontman of The Stranglers! Who would have thought!
Honestly, when I saw the announcement of Baz joining on the Rats Lair, early 2000....dressed in white (!) jeans, skinhead and the mentioning of his Toy Dolls past I was genuinely thinking that it could be the worst possible chap to join a band like the stranglers. Thankfully it turned out much better than I expected at the time.

Seconded

Devo are superb. Their first 2 albums are classics, to me at least.

Saw them live a few years ago (as well as 79) and they were brilliant.
