Why the hell not!!

Not crap, and in my top five bands of all time. JOY

Definitely not crap.

Was pretty obsessed with them when I was 18-20 or so, to this day one of the best shows I have ever seen and this was back in 1991 maybe, 1992. Not crap.

only discovered this lot last year; immediately became one of my very favourite bands. thrilled beyond words at reissues & book.

Yeah, same for me. Maybe there's a smart-assery there that's appealing at that age? They're still NC, but rarely something I listen to now.

They’re pretty much my Led Zeppelin. While I never entirely warmed up to the Holliston era, I still appreciate it. Andy Kerr is such a big part of NMN for me. I absolutely adore the Wright brothers. Incredible live band.

My go-to albums are usually Sex Mad/You Kill Me, The Day Everything Became…/Small Parts… , 0+2=1, and Why Do They Call Me Mr Happy. I’ve heard Wrong so many times that it’s in my dna. I doubt I need to listen to it ever again. I can pretty much play it in my head from front to back.

Easy N.C. for very powerful playing and an idiosyncratic band personality BUT:

1. Kerr material > the rest,

2. I must confess the Bad Religion style sea-shanty-ism element has stopped me from ever loving them.

Still, as I say, easy N.C.

I actually started listening to them because I was listening to a Butthole Surfers song on Youtube and the suggestion box on the right had a song from Wrong (can't remember which one). I checked it out b/c I had heard of them. Loved it and got the album soon after. Great drumming on it. N/C

They're not actually a band I connect with on a deep level, but you can't argue with their inventiveness and musical dexterity. They almost feel like the hardcore punk precursor to Ween or something. I know a lot of it has a more serious message, but sometimes the musical zaniness takes on that kind of tone to me.
