Personally, the Buzzc ocks' (Devoto-less) debut could be my favourite first wave British punk (-pop) album, boasting some all-round great rock songs with such great instrumentation that it lets the whiny angst in the lyrics be put on the back burner for the listener. Worth it for the last track alone. Terrific musicianship and songwriting is here for all to see, in the form of another shining example of Brit punk at its best.

I never got round to this; the 'Singles Going Steady' and Spiral Scratch (he was right to leave but Devoto Buzzc
ocks were just a dream) would make my top 100 though easily. Mr. Shelley is one of the formative pop songwriters of the era, the sexually-frustrated spotty-teen angst is all part of the appeal!
