#TheManWhoseHeadExpanded
Pick one? One?! Aye, that's a straight jacket job. Could be many, but this was somewhere back at the start where they blew the ears open. Still remember being full of beer & hearing this for the first time.
Timeless😎👍😉

Extraordinary & beautiful sonics with Tracey Thorn's vocals one colossal omnipotent hug with an undeniable shade of melancholy. Balm for the soul. Amongst of my all time favourite songs 😎👍😉🖤

#SuicidalTendencies
#Institutionalized
This beast got me through some goddamn raw & rough times in my youth. ST's albums were a powerful source of strength & defiance way back when they were needed most. For that alone they deserve a place here.

#BushTetras #TooManyCreeps
Ragged & fluid, funky as all hell with a bite that a wolf would be proud of. Amazing band, amazing song & one that, again, seems ever more relevant 😎👍😉

#ThePogues #SickBedOfCuchulainn
Favourite pub where I grew up in Ayrshire had a jukebox stuffed with Pogues. Whole place used to roar every song of theirs that came on but this always took the roof off on a Friday night. Love it dearly 😎😉👍🖤

#MaxRomeo #ChaseTheDevil
Still a message for the times.
Had to be here. Absolute knockout with Lee Perry's skills & The Upsetters playing up a righteous storm. Amongst the earliest reggae stuff I heard & still deep under my skin 😎👍🖤

#TheDamned
#NewRose
Too young when it 1st came out, but a decade or so later it was still a big enough detonation to be one of the songs that provoked a seismic shift in what I was listening to. Timeless.👍😉😎

#TheEccentronicResearchCouncil ft #MaxinePeake
#AnotherWitchIsDead
From the 1612 Underture album, this knocked me sideways. Ominous, woozy, wonked pop with vocals by the wonderful Maxine Peake & lyrics that pack a proper punch 😉👍😎

#BigAudioDynamite E=MC²
For a song about Nic Roeg films this has a ridiculous ability to put a massive grin on yer face & induce mad dancing every time it's heard. 5 minutes of sheer, unfettered joy 👍😉😎
