The Stranglers were probably one of the best but most under publicised
British bands of the 80's new wave era. I spent much of my formal teenage years listening
to them and I guess this is my little tribute to them. Although they continue to this day having just released their new album
Norfolk Coast, I would consider their best years to be between 1975 when they
were formed and 1990 when Hugh left. With the departure of Hugh, the band in my
opinion, was never quite the same. The line up during those years was Hugh
Cornwell - vocals and guitar, Jet Black - drums, Dave Greenfield - Keyboard and
Jean Jacques (JJ) Burnel whose driving bass lines signified the Stranglers
sound. Despite not being a mainstream band, a few of their early songs may be
familiar such as Something Better Change, No More Heroes and Peaches with its iconic bass
line. During '81 - '90 they had more commercial success and a few of their
tracks remain instantly recognizable today such as Golden Brown, Strange Little
Girl, Skin Deep and Always The Sun. I have featured their first four albums
here, all of them bringing back their own memories. I hope you enjoy them.
