The Soft Boys were one the most influential British bands of their time in shaping alternative and indie music, though they were considered a quirky cult item in their original run. Led by Robyn Hitchcock, the group blended edgy pop and punk's fearlessness with a love of psychedelia and folk-rock. Their offbeat and hooky melodies, matched with Hitchcock's witty, surreal lyrics, set them apart from their peers, and R.E.M. were just the best known of the many bands that learned from their example. They made a striking debut with 1979's A Can of Bees, and 1980's Underwater Moonlight was an edgy, joyous masterpiece that led the way to Hitchcock's solo career.
