This flashback to Top Of The Pops 1978 is for Brian. The Stranglers originated in the UK punk scene of the 70s. I bought the album Rattus Norvegicus when it first came out and was hooked from then on. I love this quote from wikipedia "but the group's confrontational attitude toward the press was increasingly problematic and triggered a severe backlash when Burnel, a martial arts enthusiast, punched music journalist Jon Savage during a promotional event". Still Nice and Sleazy has one of the best bass lines there is. Hard to believe it's 30 years old. Enjoy.

Awesome. Love it. The bass guitarist looks like he is 14. Oh those were the days.
