They're much better than their name implies (har har), with a few genuinely good albums hidden up their sleeves:

Of Skins and Heart (1981)
The Blurred Crusade (1982)
Heyday (1986)
Starfish (1988)

Any other fans out there?

NOTE: I wasn't really sure what forum to put this in. They have elements of jangle pop, progressive and neo-psychedelic music, but they've also been tagged as alternative, whatever that means.
I found it interesting you placed this in the Pop board ...glad I peaked in here- The Church are amazing. Steven Killbey is an amazing baritone singer. Thanks for posting the video to Under The Milky Way I loved seeing it again. I remember when I first saw the video in the 80s I finally realized the song's title wasn't 'wish I knew what I was looking for' LOL. I like Starfish the best but they have a huge discography that many are not familiar with. I think Starfish was their first album produced in America.
