I don't think I've even heard OF these people. I certainly haven't heard of any of their songs.

Based on the picture I don't think they're my thing. At all.

This is one of their best-known songs (and my favourite):

They are very pop, Lex (alth' they also rock out). You would probably like some of these, especially the disco-flavoured ones.

"Don't Bring Me Down" you almost certainly know, if only through the cover version on 'As heard on Radio Soulwax pt.2'.

and surely everyone knows Xanadu too

If you've seen 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', you've heard "Mr Blue Sky". It turns up quite a lot these days, but randomly, so you might well have heard it on an ad.

Never seen it...are they prog-rock?

[lockedintheatti.livejournal.com]

It was on an M&S ad as well I think. And yes, it seems to turn up more and more these days on all kinds of things.

I've heard of them but never heard of any of the songs! I'm glad I'm not the only one in ignorance.

atomic kitten 'be with you' = Last Train to London sort of messed around with

[friend-of-tofu.livejournal.com]

Oooh blimey, yes! I've always had mixed feelings about LTTL as well, in an odd sort of way that makes even more sense.
