I missed out on TMBG in the '80s. I only started listening at Nanobots. They are much darker and contempt-filled than the stuff commonly known from Flood. I like Where Your Eyes Don't Go, and When Will You Die?

I don't like Monty Python, either.
Also, they didn't make Tubthumping any any worse, so I'll give them a pass on that.
