While bands like Guided By Voices, Pavement, Sebadoh, and Built To Spill are the names that are so well remembered, I can't think of the last time I heard someone mention their name on par with the aforementioned bands. Which is sad, because they deserve to be remembered just as much as all of those bands. To be fair though, I thought they got pretty bad in their later years. Their last live album is terrible imo.

And by the way, you really do need to get Script of the Bridge. It's got to be one of my favorite post punk albums and easily my favorite by the band, though I have yet to listen to any of their three more recent releases. I don't have much hopes for them.
