"I Can See You" by Cherie Currie and Dead Boys. I smile at the intro which recalls the intro to 'Sonic Reducer'.

Solid song!

I've slept on Rattus for the longest time. Always loved Peaches and Grip but there are so many other brilliant songs there...

The Stranglers first five releases were all top 10 in the UK but didn't crack the top 200 in the US. Hence...I only knew the heavy hitters that appeared on punk compilations.

Listening to Rattus Norvegicus from start to finish as I type.

I love them all, with the fifth (their misunderstood masterpiece) being one of my favorite albums of all times and fourth and third not far behind. Plus album number six is also very good and so are a few songs on album number seven.

I only got into them many years after Hugh left and by then you had access to the entire disgoraphy on the internet.

Whenever I feel like talking Stanglers on here there's always someone who's responsive. If memory serves, I registered on this board during Covid to talk Stranglers.

I could be misremembering but I think someone from MB even was at one their East Coast gigs in the early 1980s.

I saw them live in 1987, touring the Dreamtime album. They had a three piece horn section that played on some of the numbers. Hugh said "I should introduce them to you. But I'm not going to." Good to know he still had some punk rock attitude!

I think the best thing about the Internet and streaming services is the ease of finding music.

"Grip" and "Peaches" were a pretty small window I was looking through, thanks.

This dovetails to The Saints (RIP Chris Baily)



I was fortunate enough to see opening night of The Saints 2007 tour. A poorly attended but awesome show.
