#899 Shack – H.M.S. Fable

Shack released their third album H.M.S. Fable in 1999 to mostly great critical reviews. They are still together as band, but their last album to date was in 2006.

#518 R.E.M. – Murmur

#381 Wire – Pink Flag

Wire is another English punk band to ride the first wave of punk rock. Unfortunately their debut album Pink Flag did not make them famous in the USA. This is real punk. These guys did not care if the song was a little more than a minute or less than a minute. They were an […]
