    Well then I have heard it but didn't recall it.

        Edit: Seems that it's been too long since I've rewatched - it's when Mickey takes down the big fella when he wasn't supposed to

        • Never Been any Reason is excellent!

            This song is famous for getting lots of airplay, including prime time TV ... that was before they found out it's about taking heroin.
            I cant recall ever hearing of the Stranglers. Will have to dig deeper.

              They were a raucous late 70's punk band ... with a reputation for being wild. Golden brown might not be representative of their other work ...

                  • By the same token, I'm pretty bummed I missed out on "Everybody Wants to Rule the World". Pretty sure I got sniped on that one during the decades draft as well.

                    • I've been listening to a lot of 1980's music this week ... my Youtube recommendations are going to be screwed up for the next 2 months!

                        I started notating the years of my picks and I was shocked how many 80s songs I've picked.

                          I saw them a few years ago and it's one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

                            Interesting -- didn't imagine them being a great live band. The bridge in "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" remains an all-time great.

                              Saw them a handful of years ago as well since they were part of KROQ's "Almost Acoustic Christmas". While they weren't even in the top 5 bands I was interested in seeing that night they did play a hell of a set. "Shout" is one of my least favorite songs from that era but everything else they played was pretty killer.
