I've only got one The Red Chord song (Prey for Eyes) and I've always considered grindcore to be kind of crap. But I'm keen to actually give it the time of day and would appreciate being pointed in the right direction by somebody with a bit of knowledge on the genre.

The Red Chord are not representative of grindcore. Did you happen to listen to the Youtube clips put up by others and myself in this thread? That would seem to be a logical place to start.
Anyways, the general consensus of "great grindcore" usually involves a few of the following:
Pig Destroyer
Godflesh (mainly the "Streetcleaner" album)
Carcass (first 3 albums)
Repulsion
Napalm Death
Some great "second tier" bands are:
Unseen Terror
Assuck
Exhumed
General Surgery
Discordance Axis
Bolt Thrower (although I'd call them death metal, they generally get labelled grindcore)
Impetigo
Watchmaker
Commit Suicide
Extreme Noise Terror
Agoraphobic Nosebleed
****...I'm Dead
Nasum
Nuclear Death
Sore Throat
....mind, these aren't all bands I'd personally endorse, but these are the more common names.
