Title: The Stranglers Post by: Mike's Beard on October 20, 2011, 09:57:30 AM Any love out there for these guys? Often referred to as "Britain's most underrated band".
Title: Re: The Stranglers Post by: Aum Bop Diddit on October 20, 2011, 12:06:51 PM I used to own "Black and White" back in the Punk/New Wave days. "Tank" was my favorite track -- these guys were very creative and funny but not the sort of thing I really would put on now -- at least not for long! "Peaches" was in "Shiny Beast" I remember. Good musicians....
Title: Re: The Stranglers Post by: Mike's Beard on October 20, 2011, 12:17:40 PM I avoided them all my life because they are labelled as a 'punk' band, then I heard the track "Skin Deep" which is anything but. Got hooked. Their album "The Raven" is amazing. I love the keyboards (again, since when did punk have Doors type keyboards?) and the bass guitar riffs are some of the best I've ever heard.

Feline is a classic, recently been trying to gather their first 10 albums, not easy though. |
