Certainly prog inspired..

Good musicians who wrote very original sounding music. I've seen them live (with Hugh Cornwell) but I only have a few of their albums. I have 'No More Heroes' 'Aural Sculpture' and 'All Live & all of the Night' (I was at that gig! ) I want to get some more Stranglers..

Reccomendations please 

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I consider The Stranglers their album The Raven as progressive rock! And I am a fan of The Stranglers (not their later commercial period) because they wrote so many melodic an catchy songs delivering inventive work on guitar and keyboards. I have seen them once in the early Eighties, what a dynamic and powerful sound!

Just wondered what others think?


You more or less repeat what I said in this post:

I see where you're coming from. I was attracted to them instantly (though hating bands like the Pistols / Sham 69 etc.) I guess they were an early blast of wind that was to be known as New Wave which contained wonderful bands with prog influences such as XTC, Police, Specials, Costello, Ian Dury, Talking Heads, Blondie, Television.
