No More Heroes was my introduction to punk, via an older brother. Something Better Change - teenage frustration distilled into one song Five Minutes for sheer nastiness Duchess - a personal favourite Golden Brown and Strange Little Girl, obviously
Always The Sun probably my fave if you push me
Best review of Walk On By: "Dionne Warwick's version sounds like a cry of pain, The Stranglers' version sounds like the threat of a mugging"
Get a grip on yourself followed by peaches. Funny how they never play many Stranglers songs on the radio these days.I’ve never heard them play “I feel like a w@g.”Strange that.
A lack of bollocks. Simpering nonsense versus life as it is.
Imagine Ian Dury versus Twitter.
There is no imagination. You are what we say you are. And you are f ucked.
All we have to look forward to is
Chris f ucking Martin.
I will fix you versus Plaistow Patricia.
F uck off you lily livered spunkstains.
as Ian said shortly before he died , something like , all these modern artists are like bank clerks who have had a result , i dont think we will see his like , in the mainstream, again

Get a Grip on Yourself or Something Better Change would be my favourite. They headlined the first festival I ever went to and were great.
Also saw them a couple of times after Hugh Cornwell had left, not quite the same really. Last time I saw them was at the free Matthew Street festival in Liverpool in 2005. Also on the bill, Buzzcocks and Tony Christie! Keyboard player Dave Greenfield played the quite complicated solo in No More Heroes one-handed while downing a pint!!
Seen them half a dozen or so times back in the day. The last few times I saw them....the lights went out and they played Waltzinblack over the speakers before the band came out. Made the hairs on your neck stand up... My other half has been told to play Waltzinblack at my funeral.

World Domination Enterprises were a brilliant live band. I roadied for them twice which wasn't too taxing as one of the guitars only had 3 strings and if a string broke they had no replacement strings!!
It's fairly easy to work out since the 18th of June only fell on a Saturday twice in the 80s: 1983 and 1988.
Well yeah but I was trying to guess based simply on looking at the flyer.
1988 as it turns out so I was well off the mark and I'm usually pretty accurate with this stuff. Joe Strummer was the obvious clue as he didn't play solo until after The Clash finished, which was later than 84. I guess by 1988 all those bands would have been old hat to me and my attention was elsewhere.

I am not a big fan of Howard Jones but I ended up at one of his gigs in the 90s because a friend dragged me along. It was pretty good, actually, and he had an excellent rapport with the fans, who filled the small theatre he was playing in. I mention the gig because, unusually, he gave the audience the choice of how he played one of the songs. He said he could do it per the record, on synths with all the electronic wizardry, or on the piano. "On the piano" was the cry from the crowd and so that's just what he did,very capably, just him and the joanna.
"Things had started becoming increasingly desperate at Loftus Road but QPR have been handed a massive lifeline and the place has absolutely erupted. it's carnage. It's bedlam. It's 1-1."
