BOC: Is it me (or did I watch too much TV)?

Well, I'd suggest trying to let ETI and Vera grow on you a bit, but really,
you're missing the first three albums, all of which are pretty well essential
BOC.   I can't promise you'll like them, but I can recommend them.
Especially Secret Treaties.

Oh, yeah, and Imaginos.  If you can listen to those four and still not like
BOC, I think I can safely say you don't like BOC.
