  • During their too-short recording career (1976-1979), seminal British punkers X-Ray Spex put out only a handful of singles (literally -- there were but five) and released only one full-length album. How, then, can a record label be justified in releasing a 52-song anthology for a band whose total output barely warrants its own divider in a record shop bin? Two words -- Poly Styrene.

  • @zimmyfromhibbing

    There's no justification, it's all about making money.

  • Years ago some academics were asked to gove their opinions on the Spice Girls on Radio, possibly the Today programme, finally this woman says, "always preferred X Ray Spex myself", they all agreed, stating "oh bondage, up yours" was their personal favourite.

  • At least some people had taste !

    But music has become even worse since then that I'm almost becoming nostalgic for the Spice Girls. I never thought I'd here myself say that !

  • X-Ray Spex are a brilliant punk band!

  • Absolutely !

  • Ooh! I like that! Funny how the original 'punk' bands didn't all sound alike. I have no interest is in what is or is not punk, but as a set of rules, punk is boring. This song doesn't sound like it is trying to fit a cookie-cutter aesthetic. It is fun and sounds good.

  • @nuwavegurl Great post - Siouxsie is the best - could listen to her over & over, especially from the PUNK ERA - like Poly is - authentic - followed in Patti Smith's steps - very nostalgic!!!!!!!!!!

  • if you mean punk in the 70s was about cookie cutter aesthetics you couldn't be more wrong. everything was all mixed up together.

  • @totallyclubbin

    So who were all these people that hated punk ?

  • @tebb1t : LOL I hear what you are saying but nothing can ever make me nostalgic for the Spice girls. They were the beginning of the end, in my opinion. Give me some X-Ray spex, The Slits, Siouxsie Sioux any day.

  • killer track, classic Spex before they went shit, sorry but thats my opinion
