One of the best bands ever? Yes. Yes they are. A Can of Bees and Underwater Moonlight are two of the goofiest yet brilliant albums ever made by anyone. Lyrics by Robyn Hitchcock... 'nuff said. Show your Soft Boys love here, if any of you electro geeks have any. IIIIIII WANNA DESTROY YOU, IIIIIIIIII WANNA DESTROY YOU!!!!1
Nigel, you said you went to a Hitchcock show once... do you dig the Soft Boys?

Uber-clever guitar pop band... maybe you'd like them? You're a rock'a rolla, no?
Not only did they rock then, but they rock now... breaking all the rules, they got back together last year and put out a brilliant album after a couple decades removed from their last classic. Not too shabby. Reunions are always a risky prospect at best.

Can't remember ever listening to the Soft Boys... what time are we talking about here? 70s? 80s?

Their prime was only a couple of albums, 79-80ish, but they put out a new one last year that's actually very worth hearing.

I prefer Robyn Hitchcock's non-softboys ventures over the soft boys really.. But that's only because there's much more of it.
Robyn Hitchcock is God.. yeah.. I bought my first RH tape when I was 9 heheh.. the music store clerk was like, "wtf"
I get mad-made fun of by my friends for liking robyn hitchcock.. :\
Queen Elvis (the album) changed my life...

Fun Fact:
In the 10 threads on this board that mention Robyn Hitchcock, I'm the one bringing him up in 8 out of those 10 threads.
..I guess what I'm trying to say is.. you guys are lame.

Checking out the music, what Hitchcock songs do you recommend?

Give it to the Soft Boys!
Wading Through A Ventilator on the Can of Bees re-issue is one of the best live performances I've ever heard on record.
