To answer both of your questions in order: no, and yes.
They were probably only one of the best bands in the world for just about 6 months after the "Touch Me, I'm Sick" single came out, and I've never bothered to get one of their full albums (Superfuzz Bigmuff was great and when the cd tagged on the early singles that about covered their best work give or take "When Tomorrow Hits"). Nonetheless, given their contribution to making punk rock and just plain rock music that was worthwhile, indeed invigorating, long after the genres had passed their sell by date, I will forever look at them as "one awesome band". They're still potentially fun live too. Of course I must admit bias, I've known Steve since 1986 and can't help but sense his positive energy in even mediocre tracks he plays on.
