Yeah, see, I'd probably like Wire best if they hadn't released all those awful albums after their first 3 brilliant ones....
But, totally, I still can't get over Mission of Burma, I'm listening to obliterati right now and I'm just thinking.. jesus, they weren't even a band for 19 years and their music is pretty much just as powerful as it was back then.. insane...
Speaking of Gang of Four.. the other day, like a week ago, this dude on here reccomended this band to me, this Japanese band called "ogre you asshole" which is the dumbest name ever.. but I'm listening to the album, right? And it's really fucking good.. and after about 3 songs, I'm thinking, 'Okay, these guys are really inspired by Gang of Four.' Then, I think it was track 7, and I hear this really fucked up bassline and I start to notice that something sounds a little weird.. and all of a sudden, the chorus kicks in and the riff is IDENTICAL to "Ether" and I realize the entire song is just this ultra-weird fucked-up dancey-math rocky Japanese cover of "Ether". Look 'em up on soulseek and check it out if you're curious .. ogre you asshole
