How are the Doctor & the Medics albums?

Other than Spirit in the Sky and a cover of Abba's Waterloo, I never checked out the output by these guys. I think they had 2 albums in the late 80s--Laughing at the Pieces and I Keep Thinking It's Tuesday. Anyone have any knowledge of and opinion of their other stuff?

Apart from 'Burn' there is little of note about them.

Each time I came across them used in a CD bin, I gave them another spin, but for my tastes, they just never grabbed me. I must have passed on them 3-4 times over the last 20 years, each time giving them another quick listen, each time again just not finding any songs that I cared to have. Not really bad, just to me nothing remarkable or memorable. Just knew if I bought one I'd never listen to it.

I remember hearing their name all the time back in 1986. Like they were the next big thing or something. Their cover of "Spirit in the sky" is honestly the only thing I remember about them.
