Yes, Stiff Little Fingers are good but I agree with boo boo for the most part.

Fast, catchy, fun.

Not all too much substance though.

Alternative Ulster and Suspect Device have no substance?
Surely the subject matter alone shows substance.

The subject matter had substance, but I think it terms of that oompf or pazazz (i'll never use those words again), they didn't get there until the later years. Still better than those...Pogues...

C.A.: Joy Division in the car? Kinduva boring, gloomy car ride, no?

Try some Kings of Crunk.

With lyrics like these;

Take a look where you're livin'
You got the Army on your street
And the RUC dog of repression
Is barking at your feet
Is this the kind of place you wanna live?
Is this were you wanna be?
Is this the only life we're gonna have?
What we need is...

...An alternative Ulster.

When it came to putting across a political statement, I'd say they showed some oompf.
When it came to pazazz, then I'd agree with you entirely. (I to will never use those words again).

Ah yeah, Northern Ireland isn't exactly great for music, but I do like Stiff Little Finger. They used to be friends with my dads cousin, before they were famous of course haha.

They came along in my shuffle a few times today, and I felt like bumping.

I don't mind the fact that it doesn't have too much substance.

I made this wee viddy while ago: Dailymotion - Ulster Troubles (1979) - a Music video

I couldn't be bothered to get around the audio recognition thing on Youtube so upped it to dailymotion instead, which ruined the resolution, but I think it makes the point that the Stiffs were far from a harmless pop group
