Stranglers ? Punks ?!! 'epitomises the spirit of '76'!!! Wot bollocks. In spirit the Stranglers were exactly what they looked like - a bunch of ex-teachers playing pub rock. Punk is indeed long past the 'smells funny' stage but these "angry hippies" played no part in its rise or its decline.
Not only is 'Peaches' sorta reggae tinged, so is "Who Wants The World?". Anyone that says otherwise is just mad because Dave Greenfield fucked them on their A levels.
4. Peaches Another classic, the memory of which epitomises the summer of '76 and the band's attempt at using some reggae influence
ReplyDeletePeaches? Reggae?
