...you can draw a direct line from The Nightingales, Mark e Smith, Mr Lydon and Mr Cave, Ted Milton, Gareth Sager and Mark Stewart and all the rest of the 80's agitpropers and every line will converge at the door of Don Van Vliet....and 'Trout Mask Replica'...

@orangabug It's "Don't Sell Your Dreams",demo 1978,produced by Hugh Cornwall,find it on "Idealists In Distress"....any other Pop Group questions,i'm your maaaaan!

@sisterdiggins Depends. You have emo kids getting into Fugazi, goths worshiping Birthday Party, dubstep/grime fans who listen to The Bug. All these roads lead back to Mark.

And to top it off - POP GROUP GOT BACK TOGETHER. New album, too!

God, The Pop Group were so f...king awesome, totally unique then and now
This stuff was so weird and mind warping at the time.
Mark Stewart was a serious pioneer and yes, a huge influence.
Nothing had ever sounded like this before.
For me , it still stands out and maybe I am a jaded old timer , but it sounds better than anything that came after .
Can't wait to see this !

It's a shame because I don't think too many kids are privy to all this.
They were real upsetters .
Ultra creative .
