I agree with this. Have you seen the "Stop Making Sense" DVD, though? It's easily my favorite by them.

Could anyone say they like them WITHOUT having seen it?

Inlander:
Yes.  In a word.

Check out London 0, Hull 4 by the Housemartins for a whole bunch of incredibly upbeat, bouncy songs.  Which just happen to have incredibly cynical lyrics - but hey, if you're going to be bitter at least you should dance while you're doing it!  Also some old-school soul: the Four Tops (before Motown became shit - their first two-and-a-half albums, basically), Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett (R.I.P.), and Sam Cooke: Live at the Harlem Square Club, 1963.  If you're in a mood for strutting 'round your pad, get some "New Testament" Count Basie: The Atomic Mr. Basie and Count Basie Swings, Joe Williams Sings.  Big band jazz has never been better.  While we're on jazz, try some hard bop: especially Clifford Brown and Max Roach's self-titled album (so happy it has a bright orange cover).  For something more recent, try Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: sure, they've been raved about ad nauseum, but their album really is just about the most up-beat, danceable rock album I've heard in the last year.

That's off the top of my head.  I don't have my C.D. collection immediatly to hand.[/list][/list]
