Wire (instrumental, pop, punk, favorite song, album)

Wire needs a bump. Over the past month I've been listening to their first four albums almost obsessively. In all sincerity, they're better than 95% of every other band/artist I listen to, they're just superb

At a push, I'd say 154 is my favourite at the moment, but it changes amongst the first three frequently.

I'm in a somewhat similar situation. Actually... I recently revisited 154, and it's ****ing fantastic. I love the overall atmospheric/psychedelic feel of the album, and there are even some elements of baroque pop in it... which was a bit astonishing considering it's a post-punk album.

Dare I say... I prefer it over Joy Division's debut.

Interesting, I've never thought about it, but it's definitely up there with Unknown Pleasures, as are the other two.
