Buzzcocks, 'Singles Going Steady'

prev 360/500 next

I.R.S., 1979

Singles collects eight British 45s into a perfect punk album. This Manchester group took the sound of the Ramones and made it jittery and even faster. Songs such as "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" define a world of permanently frustrated desire.
