The Stranglers - Get a Grip On Yourself

I Personaly love the keyboard player in this song, we are doing this song in collage but no matter what no-one on earth could ever match the stranglers in this song :) its a classic

12years old again

THE DAMNED were the Beatles of punk.
THE CLASH were the Rolling Stones of punk.
THE JAM were the Pink Floyd of punk.
But THE STRANGLERS. . .they were the Led Zeplin of punk.
Four musicians who were so in tune with each other, they complimented each others style, and collectively were like no one else

The stranglers were out on their own.
Totally unique in every way
Technically, there were better musicians,sure,
but collectively they were fuckin sensational and their music still sounds fresh over 30 years later.
Hand on heart, the only other bands I can honestly say that about are The Clash and The Jam.
But it's the stranglers' uniqueness that sets them apart

Wished I was working with you, mate!
I'm usually outvoted by youth when it comes to playing sounds at work!

Kids these days!

This was when they were pissed off at getting nowhere coz the punks were emerging and they had already been at it since 1974! But what a fucking sound!
They were angry and it showed!
They're just not quite the same these days and haven't been since the corporates got involved around the time of "La Folie"!

I'm sad the best is over and i'm glad i was there.

in 1978 me and the girls were sitting around when a man arrived with a testtube of amyl nitrate and Rattus Norvegus. the grip was got!

I totally agree ;D
