Wire (electronic, alternative, indie, punk, rock)

If ya take a listen to their more recent stuff i'm sure you'd be pleased as theyve come back from their experimental phase and jumped on the pink flag boat once again. I've been listening to Wire for quite some time and finally got to see them play twice here in this ****ty city, along with Mogwai which is quite something for us out here in pittsville... Ohhhh ya, they're back in form. And the comment about the greatest punk album is dead on, they never sold out or nothing, lets keep it that way but support em simultaneously.

Been listening to Pink Flag again in a while, and it still manages to blow me away.

Pink Flag is one of the best albums ever made.

Chairs Missing is incredible, almost as good.

154 has some amazing moments, but some dull **** as well. Still a great album.

Really awesome band.

Wire are simply an incredible band. It annoys me that they aren't widely recognised for their greatness as well as their influence on a lot of the UK 'indie' rock around today.

i don't know the tide of UK 'indie' rock these days seems to have turned, although i think it's still pretty compulsory to name drop the Wires. they certainly had their fingers in the Britpop pie. by-produkt 01 -
YouTube - Elastica - Line Up

post-punk was more of an intellectual movement i think with a variety of sounds, the only reason 'Pink Flag' needed a 'post' tag in the first place was down to how quickly stupid punk fans pigeonholed it's 'principles'. Otherwise it'd be up there with the classic first wave punk albums
