Yup, I agree on the Wonder Stuff.  Actually, the only album I still listen to really is The Eight-Legged Groove Machine.
 
 As for the Connells, "Fun and Games" is a fantastic album.  If it's a dollar, it's money well spent (I think it's worth a fourth of a pint).  Again, I like other albums, but Fun and Games is the gem.

Ok I will add that to the mental list.
 
 I saw the wonderstuff in Leicester when Hup had just come out. Dont let me down gently was the key non-smiths song of my adolescence.

 Just to date myself, my favorite bands at the time were The Wonder Stuff, Connells, early Lemonheads (Hate Your Friends), Royal Court of China, Voice of the Beehive, Bob Mould's first solo outing.  Gee whiz.....

Not to mention, I'm also music director, which means I'm hearing stuff before it's released without being dependant on file sharing.  And we just reorganzined our whole cd collection and put it into a database making it even easier to endlessly browse through stuff.

they are a very obscure band.
 
 you can get it here:

 It seems expensive, but it was 16 great british pounds in the UK when I looked for it [/b]
British imports from Amazon are always cheaper if you go through Amazon UK.
 
 Try this.
 
 Natural History is their first album, and it's great. Life In A Day is their next album, due out in Sept. (The 23rd, I think. I can find out for anyone who needs to know. It too is very good. I have an advance copy.)
