Really want to add Sign ‘O’ The Times but can’t work out which one to leave out.
If ever a band could sum up the whole of their essence in the first two minutes of their first album its The Ramones with Blitzkreig Bop.

Reflection Of The Television vs Cold Days From The Birdhouse is one of the toughest choices human existence has, in my opinion.
