Musically they could be great, but they were so damned obnoxious lyrically.
No More Heroes would be their acknowledged classic.
There's some great stuff on Black and White.

Buffista Music 4: Needs More Cowbell!
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I never cared much for them. I've only played them three times on the radio, and none of those songs stick with me (Peaches, Hanging Around, Tank). I don't know why I've never played Grip. I like that one!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
My brother plays The Stranglers a lot but they've never really stuck with me. I keep getting them confused with The Blasters.
Has there ever been a really good biopic of Elvis?

Nah, that's a movie. The one that starred the young guy from the original Hairspray.
I think it was called Elvis: the Early Years or something like that. I'll look it up...

I guess it was just called Elvis a ten episode miniseries with Michael St. Gerard. (an excellent likeness)
Hmmm, more as I remembered it: Elvis: the Early Years 13 episode series.
Priscilla had a hand in producing this and it was a very faithful account of his early band on the road before he broke huge.

Lynda Carter does a "Rock N' Roll Fantasy Medley" from a 1980 TV variety special: [link]
Stick with it. At around 2:30, it rises to a whole new level of WTF.
