It is sad that so little interest has been shown in this milestone band.

@slavnotslave I wouldn't say Wire have been ignored! They have had a massive influence on the direction of 'alternative' music and even crossover into mainstream pop. They were one of the few UK bands rated by the US hardcore scene and their 154 and Chairs Missing LPs showed what could be done with pop music without becoming lame or cliched. They were probably the top influence on a lot of indie music in the UK in the 1990s and had been steadily coming up since about 1982. Highly rated band!

@slavnotslave only good looking people get mainstream attention, sides, who wants it. rather hear legit talent.

@slavnotslave Indeed, seems a shame that Joy Division are seen as so seminal (dont get me wrong I like them a lot) and WIRE are totally ignored by most.

Well, sitting here in Wisconsin in 1979 I didn't know anyone else who listened to it.  I haven't stopped.
