[cygnetcom]

Where will the next great leader of mankind come from?

[jrmetmoi]

@cygnetcom He or she just won't come at all. They are uh thought about it and decided to change their minds at the last minute......

[Torajinta]

リズムに痺れます。

[fromthecentre]

One of the all-time great bands.

[oogie11]

This sounds so good, I can hear Gang of Four in this for sure...post-punk of late 70s was exceptional

[Darkiver]

@oogie11

As far as I'm concerned the late 70's was the zenith of rock.

[JesusStein]

great poster in that album - wish i still had it....

[DeathMetalDouglas68]

It's like the better No Wave (Contortions) meets Pere Ubu. Never heard this band. Always heard the name. Swell Maps kind of were doing a little bit of this I guess.

[gregpeckbond]

The on e and only POP (group) ---- andy, sleep well!

[sisterdiggins]

Pop Group destroyed all previous notions.

[vaspers]

one of the most innovative bands ever, love love love this group

[InterestingSpecimen]

It's like The Birthday Party,Gang of Four, and This Heat got together and out popped this band of freaks..or is it the other way around?

Gonzo trippy post punk.

[SaSaKoKo]

other way around.

the pop group was one of nick cave's top 3 fave bands when the birthday party started.

[InterestingSpecimen]

Brilliance on both sides.

[rohedron]

He said he came to London expecting all the music to be like the Pop Group.. not quite what he found...

[MCKRUSH]

Exactly. I always thought "She Is Beyond Good and Evil" sounded like Birthday Party, had the latter been dub reggae enthusiasts.

[JAPRYDER]

@InterestingSpecimen

Pop group were first. Best live band ever.

[staggersu]

@InterestingSpecimen yeah right.

[weaselidiotu]

G*O*L*D

[rayolacer]

fuck me i wish id have seen em livee

[MistaBiggDick]

Don't know much about this band, but I've just seen the cover for the album "For How Much Longer Do We Tolerate Mass Murder?"...it knocked me for six.

First time I've heard these, and I can hear parallels to A Certain Ratio.

[DividedLove]

PLEASE support ALL people and watch "freedom to fascism", "money as debt", "zeitgeist","loose change", "ring of power", "endgame", "money masters"........YOU MAY DISCOVER THE ABILITY TO DO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS WITH THIS TIME OF CONSCIOUSNESS, AND REALIZE THAT WE ARE ALL ONE. Anyways I truly care about everyone and for the future of our species.-onelove

[borntokillyou]

Best band ever!!!!!

[Neuropelisis]

Wow, just heard this for the first time. Great stuff, definitely going to check out more of this band. Loving the very gothic atmosphere at the end with the saxophone, brilliant.

[mikebott]

great stuff. shame that the clip keeps stopping...

[bynoon3]

Disturbingly wonderful, there's more bruding emotions here than I've in a long,long time

[thirdshift47]

[molecularash]

niiiiiick the striiiiiiipperrrrrr hideous to the eyeee....oh shi- wrong band

[kensatan]

my god! where did this come from? fantastic! ditto graemess, Y is the best album ever made, period - it's still sounds totally exciting now.

[spotswoodthenewt]

I completely agree w/ you kensatan. Used to play it on the air when it came out, it got lot's of comment, and mostly positive, but nobody seemed to go out and actually buy it. I remember when Patti Smith hand-picked them to open for her in England, chosen from over one hundred submissions according to Melody Maker at the time. A truly great, but seemingly forgotten band.

[Graemess]

The Pop Group's Y is still my favourite album nearly 30 years on.

[sitjar]

bloody hell time flies!

[kensatan]

ditto! you are a man of great taste!

[visor95]

Excellent, thanks for posting.
