Zak do you agree with that sot Robert Christgau saying the US version of the S/T is the best rock n roll record ever? I mean it DOES have Complete Control, a banger for the ages.

Complete Control is possibly my greatest ‘punk’ song. The bit where Joe is proper ranting at the end is one of me favourite moments in music. Controlled in the body, controlled in the mind. Classic!!



Growing up I always preferred the US version of the s/t but now I prefer the UK version as it has more of a ‘have some of that’ attitude with bovver boots on.

“And then there's Keith, waiting for trial

Twenty-five thousand bail

If he goes down you won't hear his sound

But his friends carry on anyway

Fuck 'em!”



Straight into that chorus



Christ I miss proper people making proper music.
