I remember well at the time how the Stranglers were considered by the muso media, mainly the NME. They were slated constantly as not being "real" punks, whatever that meant. Looking back nearly 40 years the truth is they were about the best, the loudest, the naughtiest and the most punk of them all.

@adap2it6 жыл бұрын
I don't think any of them were "punks". They were excellent musicians and song writers with a "punk" attitude. The '76 -'78 era was not good for real musicians, and the Stranglers knew that in order make records you needed to "current".

At that time with peaches and heroes, straighten out etc, and just watch strange little girl official video for punk ness, the stranglers were regarded in the street as a major element of the backbone of punk. By folk who don’t even read music press, just get on with their lives and go to stranglers concerts and buy their records which prolly sold more than all other punk bands combined! Even Simon Cowell hated them because people spat and pogoed at the gigs. Stranglers lyrics widely criticize everything establishment, the essence of punk. Watch them mock bbc top of pops by not doing the miming properly as protest and the surrey uní debacle. And the classic breaking down the wall in Holland when performing with pistols and Blondie. And getting arrested on every other tour. Well punk by any definition.

ONE MORE STRANGLERS VIDEO WITH TWO OF THEIR GREATEST SONGS. These were filmed live at the Hope & Anchor, a small club in Islington (North London) that hosted a punk festival from November 12---December 15, 1977. (There is a double album from that festival that includes the Stranglers, the Saints, The Only Ones, X-Ray Spex, 999, the Suburban Studs and XTC.) No More Heroes was released as a single in September 1977 and Something Better Change was also a single in July 1977. If you don't know the Stranglers, get hip G+ers. This is a damn fine band.

I saw the Stranglers play a gig at de Montford Hall in Leicester when I was a student circa 1982 - and they played a truncated 30 minute set - and I seem to remember Hugh Cornwell making incessant digs at students, even though he himself had attended Surrey University to read Chemistry ! But, I've always liked their stuff - No More Heroes is one of my favourite all-time albums.

The Stranglers are Punk. They wore it proudly but didn't let it confine them musically. Their desire to break through and get radio airtime in the US drove them to tone down the punk sound on later albums like Feline and la Folie or whatever it was called. But they left behind a legacy of some of the best rock albums ever made. And yes, they were punks.
