The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus
Punk was before my time so it's impossible to have the same affiliation as many of the FOC here who grew up with it.
Someone mentioned it has a 'fairground organ' sound which was irritating and i do kind of agree! that aside though there is just to many classic tracks to ignore, 'Grip Of Yourself', 'Peaches' 'Hanging Around' and 'Princess Of The Streets' some others not so keen on 'Ugly' and 'Down In The Sewer' i found tough to get through.
I like the fact they are different to your standard Punk band and clearly the musicianship is all there, lyrically offending but of its time and tongue in cheek i felt.
Enjoyed.
