Although the CDs come across as completely enigmatic, I would have to say that my favorite is "DEAR CATASTROPHE WAITRESS". Of course, it was produced by TREVOR HORN, who is one of my favorite producers.

I got bored as well. I'm starting to think Dear Catastrophe Waitress is their only worthwhile one. Well, no, there's also The Life Pursuit. Maybe go in that direction.

I'm bumping this because every one has been bitching about terrible 90's pop, which made me listen to If You're Feeling Sinister and The Boy with the Arab Strap and remember how good some 90s pop was. If that's what you'd consider this, I know it's not mainstream, but it's still good. Anyone else still putting on B&S much these days?

Definitely not completely obscure though, they won for Best Newcomer at the Brit Awards in the 90's. Anyways, If You're Feeling Sinister would make my top ten albums of all time so they most certainly still get a lot of play from me. The Life Pursuit is also one of my favorites of this decade.

Heh no, I wouldn't call them obscure. I was just considering in comparison with what you heard on the radio, Nsync and Backstreet Boys and Mariah Carey and the likes. It's all pop, but B&S is a whole different sound than those others. And I thought The Life Pursuit was alright, but their first 2 albums were best in my eyes.
