Household names in the tabloid universe, these Estuary heartthrobs are shrewdly calling it a day before their fans outgrow them. This may be damning with faint praise, but this compilation attests to the fact that they were a cut above the average pec-flexing hunks.

They produced some decent boy-pop, and one indisputable classic, the 2001 debut All Rise. Possibly the first hit of its genre to be constructed around an accordion riff, it makes fruitful use of the quartet's downtempo soul harmonies.

Having hit on a distinctive minor-chord sound, they stuck with it for most of their dozen hits, which are arranged chronologically. But if they never strayed far from their signature layered vocals, neither did they cheat with endless cover versions or pad things out with ballads.

More importantly, they left before they were asked to.
