i love Dead Man's party, it's a long-time favourite. lots of great tracks. my fave is No One Lives Forever.

i've tried a few or their other albums, but they just don't appeal to me the same way.

I've been really meaning to listen to these guys...this is Danny Elfman's band, yeah?

Oingo Boingo, amazing.

The 1st song I ever heard by them was "Only a Lad" on my Pandora channel, lately they've been the band that I watch the most videos of on Youtube, my favorites by them are probably "Private Life", "Insects", "Grey Matter", and "It Only Makes Me Laugh" from Elfman's Solo album, I also love Weird Al's style parody of them titled "You Make Me".

I thought they were too geeky but they were a great band. I had one of their albums. Great hooks, tunes and musicianship. Elfman was a genius and still is on the soundtracks.
