Good group.
Golden brown texture like sun Lays me down with my mind she runs Throughout the night No need to fight Never a frown with golden brown Every time just like the last On her ship tied to the mast To distant lands Takes both my hands Never a frown with golden brown Classic. |

Thought The Stranglers were a great band.Saw them live in 77 or 78(No More Heroes) period.I kind of lost interest after either La Folie or Meninblack but the album Aural Sculpture from the mid 80's is well worth alisten(features Skin Deep & No Mercy).Can't say what theyre like without Cornwell cos i have'nt heard them.Probarbly irrelevant but in the late 70's i knew a bloke who shared a cell in Pentonville with Cornwell when he was sentenced for heroin possession,and he reckoned a nicer bloke you couldnt meet.

Re: stranglers.. good group or just average??
Never liked 'em.
Way to middle of the road for me, back in the days when I could gob from the back of a concert hall on to the stage. |
Re: stranglers.. good group or just average??
Not bad, but a very derivative band. A large part of their organ-dominated sound was copped from the Doors (who, in turn, lifted it from US garage bands like the Seeds and Question Mark & the Mysterians). Listen to the Stranglers' version of "96 Tears", then listen to Question Mark's original and you'll see what I mean.

Re: stranglers.. good group or just average??
Class group,alwys been one of my favs since a kid.The Raven album is pure magic.Prefered the earlier'Punk' stuff than the Golden Brown and Strange little girl era's.Peaches for me is thier classic record.Hugh Cornwall was class a couple of years ago unplugged at the Osie Civic.:)
