The Ramones had mammoth hooks but the Buzzcocks had the kind of hooks that glitter and flash and expand beyond horizons in your mind.

What Do I Get? ---> I Don't Mind ---> Love You More ---> Ever Fallen in Love

This is hard to do 'cause I could come up with another 4 easily,
but these are the ones that always stop me from whatever I'm
doing to scream along with them.

Ever Fallen In Love...;
What Do I Get?;
Everybody's Happy Nowadays;
I Believe (the long version)

The Batlord 12-24-2018 11:35 AM

But my four were tracks 2, 3, 4, and 5 on the album. Like, all you have to do is hit play and get that ****.

I'm telling you - that album is soooooo great - really nice to have all of that together on one LP or disc,
but even tho you could get all of those great singles 40 years ago (!), the full albums have some really
amazing stuff there too. The lyrics for "I Believe" are still stunningly cunning after all these long years.
Glorious CDs kept me from playing the singles until they died and glorious digital storage lets me play,
literally, a day's worth at a time.

In these times of contention, it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now, I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past
I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe, I'm not the only one
Yes, I believe in, I believe in
When I poison my system, I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reachin' my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colors that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going, if to end or begin
I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in, I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
I've fallen from favor while tryin' to savor experience
I'm seein' things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why, it is will be the line
I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
And I believe in my mum and my dad
And I believe in, I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling, I just want them to last
I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in, I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe, I'm goin' to be late
So I'll be leavin', what I believe in
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore
There is no love in this world anymore

"A Different Kind of Tension" is an extremely close second to "Singles Going Steady" as my favorite Buzzcocks album.
Neither of those albums ever lose any of their brilliance, no matter how many times I hear them.
