it is a shame that those too young to have seen the stranglers live will not apprecciate they were actually good musicians.

Hilarious. There is no band that fill such a huge space in my heart as The Stranglers.

You just nailed it mate. The Stranglers did what thought was best, and just got the job done.

@Teasle586 As much as I admired the late Mr. Wilson, he himself was the biggest bandwagon jumper. The Stranglers were often prevented playing live on TV in case they said something naughty, so trashed the place instead. Incidentally Joe Strummer and the likes used to go and watch the Stranglers before they were in serious bands. The Stranglers non conformity to the new ideals and rules of what Punk should be seen them often ostracised by the fascist music press and other contemporaries.

@JohnnyDFox nobody had a gun to their heads

Maybe they conveniently used the Punk label to sell their music but so did the others.
In my opinion, the fact that The Stranglers was and is an outsider band with an aggressive attitude makes them truly punk. Most of their contemporaries were wank punk outfits.

Obviously not very happy about having to mime. This is so funny - they're so cool...
