Title: Why did nobody ever tell me The Stranglers are awesome? Update: STRANGLERS SUCK

Why did I have to learn about them from a stranger, Steve Jones, on his radio show? And not even directly, too...over the course of several days, hearing individual awesome songs then slowly realizing they were all by the same artist. I mean, what was the point of going to college if they're not even going to teach me about Golden Brown and its 13/4 time signature? For fuck's sake.

Or Snatch?

Although I think I'd rather learn things from Steve Jones, whoever that may be, rather than Guy Ritchie.  Wait... from the Sex Pistols?  Yeah, definitely him.

Golden Brown is a standout track and used well, regardless of what you make of the quality of the film.  I remember buying the soundtrack specifically for it.

160GB you fucking moron.   ;)

Was that a Stranglers tune playing at the beginning of Sexy Beast? That was a fucking awesome intro.

yeah, it was a rhetorical question designed to weed out the r-tards

on the one hand, I should wait til I get home to try and fix my iPod

on the other hand, God has given me a sign, and in His infinite wisdom He wants me to get a 160GB classic
