A. If you like Woofer In Tweeters Clothing, then yes, you should like the
first album as it contained the same band members as "Woofer". However, I
think the debut may be a bit more poppy than Woofer, but that could be the
result of Todd Rundgren's production.
B. "Big Beat" is pretty cool, and is probably their most rocking album. I
always thought that "Gratuitous Sax and Senseless Violins" was a great pop
album....if you think the Pet Shop Boys also made great pop albums. It is
very dancey, but also very catchy. For some reason, the mid eighties period
Sparks (Angst, Sparks In Outer Space) didn't do much for me, but some folks
love that period. And a lot of people have raved about Lil' Beethoven and
Hello Young Lovers, but, again, both releases didn't do much for me.
