Any fans of this underappreciated, post-punk, jazz-punk, avant whatever you want to call it band. I have all of their albums, and they're truly outstanding, especially the first one, Y.  Highly recommended!!!

I really liked Y - wasn't so impressed by any of their later stuff though.

There were 2 good offshoots from The Pop Group - Pigbag (great live, OK on record) and the excellent Rip Rig and Panic, both of which pursued the jazzier side of The Pop Group's music.

Thought I'd revisit my own topic, figures I'd only get two replies. As of lately, I've gotten two Mark Stewart albums (member of The Pop Group), deinitely worth checking out, especially As the Veneer of Democracy Starts to Fade. I'd say it's much more experimental than The Pop Group's stuff, well worth your time.

yeah, the Pop Group is amazing, I only have Y, where the heck did you get their other albums? I've always wanted to hear them, were they a reasonable price?

I got mine off of eBay all on vinyl, my copy of Y is on mp3 though. I paid around 15-20 for each, not too bad.  The Mark Stewart albums I got were 10 bucks for two, great deal.
