I'm in agreement-ish, but I do like that Oingo Boingo song. Someone in GS remarked they never got the love for Oingo, and I agree. I think their local appeal down in LA, where they caught the ears of some A&R dude, propelled them onto a national stage, but I'm mostly like "meh."
I had my Oingo Boingo phase, right after the 1988 release of
Boingo Alive. It was more a greatest hits album than traditional Live album (the songs we recorded live in studio with no audience), and it had an energy that really worked at the time. I still listen to it now and again, and have a nostalgic response when they are played on the radio...
