RIP Poly. Help the rest of us be a fraction as awesome as you were.

RIP Poly. Great singer.

Hope Lora Logic will live longer.

Okay, I've been trying to figure this out for a couple days now. The chorus (particularly the guitar harmony with "He's a rebel of the underground") sounds like what other song?

[pj67oldskool]

Let's not copy this this time round and shit our own doorstep, we need to take this to the rich this time round! RISE UP U.K and don't forget....."NOT GUILTY!"

[TheMeltdown23]

dosent know no history, he threw the past away, my fav band of all time, still have all the singles with covers etc and the one true album germfree adolescent, i always think of them as the most radical ahead of their time by miles, and their lyrics are as topical as ever, if not more than............

[pikachops]

ilove this band would like music likethis these days

[gothdude92]

im 17 and love these sort of bands. i also like specimen, alien sex fiend, jilted john, sparks and lots of other early stuff like this. also spizz :)

[kevintheshedend1976]

Bless you child

[xemopengyx]

@gothdude92 I'm 18 and I love all those too. X-ray Spex and Jilted John ftw

[mthai66]

I don't understand?  Who doesn't know X-Ray Spex?

[orchidsatellite]

I wish that more people appreciated bands such as the x-ray specs. As a fifteen year-old, people my age have no idea who these bands are and have no appreciation for the punk movement. The x-ray specs will always be one of my favorite bands.

[kevintheshedend1976]

Thatcher was cunt, no doubt it, but few people remember how unstable, violent and fucking shit England was BEFORE Thatcherism

Youths meet at Stockwell Tube,

weapons rule their lives

[kevintheshedend1976]

Brilliant, and YEARS ahead of their time

[ZLUGGO]

One of the first punk songs I ever heard. Absolutely brilliant. X-Ray Spex remains one of my fave bands.

[missbabydoll187]

i got into x ray spex a little over 7 years ago, i was fascinated with poly and i loved the band...i love my germfree adolescence cd...yes they are very underrated and deserve more exposure and respect...

[nomorewanks1]

one of the most underated punk bands ever - spread their message - I STILL LOVE YOU POLLY

[burgersoft777]

Funny how times come full circle...wait till D,C. gets power in the UK....things will burn.

[XANDERGIBB]

Wow this is pure originality. I remember this vividly. WOW again I say x

[jiffcat]

rimsky skorsikov its frothy man! A MOLOTOV THAT IS,

[sillywabbit1349]

thats a fact

[Goodkidsdie]

it's a shame that xray spex haven't come into the fame they deserve. 30 years after their debut they still sound innovative.

[abysmalcretin]

cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooool!

[cookiethewaitress]

excellent footage

[newwave1965]

This women helped bring punk music to the main stream

its a sad fact. While Debbie Harry made it big Poly never got the true recognition she really deserved. Great music and voice to go with it sadly missed.

[sexyjefflynne72]

Sheer genius. I LOVE this song; there's nothing like it. Poly Styrene is my idol. The chorus is soooo damn catchy.

[skinskasex]

love the ironic title & lyrics "doesn't know no history hes thrown he's past away" f****** 100% pure gold

[megancatsick]

im sometimes glad im a 2008 teenager with good music taste.

x ray spex = <3

[USAL74]

[megancatsick]

I believe im only the only thirteen year old who even knows who the amazing x ray spex are, let alone appriciate punk in anyway at all.
