Jah and Strafer, both of you would make rubbish detectives.

OK it's time to fess up. As a teenager I was something of a Stranglers obsessive and spent too much of what little money I had on their records, most of which, in the cold light of day were crap. Only saw them live once in about '82 at the Dominion. Always though they were bit of a sulky teenagers lad's band - so it's a revelation to find that they have some female admirers too.

My top 5 tracks are:

1. Something Better Change

2. Grip

3. Go Buddy Go

4. Nice'n' Sleazy

5. Skin Deep

Live 'X' cert remains a classic.

I really liked 'em when they came out. The first two albums were excellent and the rest were good with ever so slight diminishing returns. I've still got most of the early singles and albums but once Hugh Cornwall left that was the end for me.

The other useful part of this thread is I now know who Lady D is, thanks to a parallel splurge on facebook

DITTO

And being the crap detective that I am, I now know who you are Straferjack!

[StraferJack]

"not tweet about it" .. not "twitter about it"

[TillieTrotter]

I've never tweeted or twittered in my life SJ and probably never will.

[RosieH]

Am I alone in reading StraferJack and thinking of this?

[LadyDeliah]
