I'd put it much the same way as Terry K., too - City Boy is one of my all time favourite bands.

I don't know if I'd consider them particularly underrated, though. I know quite a few avid City Boy fans, and every so often a new one will come along, discovering that some or most of the traits Terry describes are much to his or her taste. As much as I enjoy seeing the band gain new fans and love the fact that City Boy has been found by yet another music enthusiast, it's also sort of logical that their inherent quirkiness is one man's open door versus another one's reason to move on to something more straightforward.

Kudos to you for bringing them up, though, Terry - and I wish you continued fun on your City Boy kick!

PS - my personal City Boy favourite albums:
Dinner at the Ritz (1976)
The Day the Earth Caught Fire (1979)
Heads Are Rolling (1980)

...Having said that, there's nothing in the City Boy catalog that I don't enjoy from start to end.
