Yes, Sinatra was held in high esteem by quite a few of the postpunk crowd, including Robert Smith who was a huge fan of his phrasing. The man could really carry a tune...

Anyway, a lil something from my favorite percussionist of the postpunk era

don't sleep on 1st and 2nd Annual Report

Id say TG is unquestionably the greatest, such an original, inspiring vision as to be the entire reason record stores have an Industrial section

Which one has that long song about Myra Hindley? I love that one

that's first annual report, which I think qualifies as their debut?

but it's hard to say because as far as I understand it doesn't get an official release until years after it was recorded

either way, yeah, "Very Friendly" is so good

I see, interesting how widely it circulated as a bootleg

TG is one of those bands my first exposure to was a bunch of mp3s downloaded by a friend from soulseek, so I didn't really know what was on official releases and what wasn't.

For some unknown reason, the CD with Lick My Decals Off, Baby (maybe my favorite album of all time) that he burned for me began with the Magic Band's cover of Diddy Wah Diddy, so for me that album had a really upbeat opening

Postpunk psychedelia owes so much to Beefheart (duh)

Kurtag, one of the greatest living composers and probably our last remaining link to the European modernist tradition of polymaths and experimentalists such as Stockhausen and Boulez. Among my favorite 80 seconds in music.

Lydon's most MES-like moment?

For me Serge wrote the best love songs cause they're always with a twist. This one is called something like "unlove" (a Serge neologism)

Very important song imo, adapting the industrial sound to pop
