Apr 15, 2024 · It’s a put-down that sounds even more risible today, given a catalogue with some 23 hit singles and 19 Top 40 albums. Forged in the unforgiving pub-rock climate of the early 70s, the band’s combative attitude aligned them to the punk scene without ever being a part of it.

Mar 30, 2023 · Propelled by the Top 10 success of their single Peaches – banned by the BBC for its “coarse language and innuendo” – the debut Stranglers album, IV (Rattus Norvegicus), released in April 1977, was not as drooled over by the music press as the debut albums by The Damned (released eight weeks before) or The Clash (released one week before ...

The band’s fifteenth album was released in 2004, six years after their previous record. It was the first album to feature Baz Warne on guitar, who made himself very welcome into the ranks by penning several songs. Warne’s entry into the band picked them up commercially, with one his songs, “Big Thing Coming” reaching number 31 in the Uk singles cha...
Next on the list is the band’s most recent album released in 2012. After the departure of Roberts in 2006 who replaced Cornwell in 1990, Burnell and Warne took up vocal duties themselves. The album plays around a lot with its sound, melding punk rock with several other styles, sometimes expanding on the sound of the albums that preceded and other t...
The album to take us into the second half of this list the band’s eight from 1984. With this album, the band took yet another U-turn, as it features much use of acoustic guitar as well as brass instruments. The album was successful, reaching number 14 in the charts and spawning three singles which included “Skin Deep.” By this point, the band had m...
The band’s sixth album from 1981 saw them attempting to reclaim the commercial success that they were starting to lose. Producer Tony Visconti was apparently given instructions to “treat every song like it was a single” and this worked as the album spawned one of The Strangler’s most famous songs, “Golden Brown.” Despite its commercial intentions, ...
Released earlier in the same year as La folie, the sound of the band’s fifth album could not have been any more different as it saw them almost abandon the punk sound in favor of an almost progressive rock approach. The album is a concept record dealing with the subject of conspiracy theories involving aliens living amongst us whilst weaving in muc...
At number four on our Top 10 Stranglers albums list is album number four from 1979. This album deals a lot with of different topics such as heroin addiction with the song “Don’t Bring Harry” as well as several topical subject such as the Iranian revolution (“Shah shah a go go”) and genetic engineering (“Genetix.”) Controversially, the album should ...
Next is the band’s second album, released just five months after the first in 1977. Among the material included on the record is the famous title track which is one of their most successful singles. The album opens boldly with the track “I Feel Like A Wog” which on the surface would be seen as racist, however, the band stated that this was not the ...
At the number two spot is the band’s third album issued in 1978. This was an album that saw the Stranglersstart to go more experimental, particularly with their approach to how they structured the songs. “Curfew” is a prime example with its unconventional time signature, and it shows the band moving very quickly from typical punk music into more of...
At the top spot is the classic Strangler’s debut released in the crucial year of 1977. As one of the biggest selling albums of the early punk era, it includes the band’s most famous song “Peaches” (a song that was considered sexist by some upon its release) as well “Get a Grip on Yourself.” The album was remarkably recorded in just one week with al...
Sep 7, 2021 · Dark Matters, The Stranglers’ 18th album and the band’s first release for almost a decade, is a true triumph over absolute adversity. Eleven songs that click together despite their differences, part lament, part world view and part history lesson.
Nov 27, 2020 · This 20-track ‘greatest hits’ (originally released in 2002), covering the Hugh Cornwell era and reissued on vinyl, skilfully dots their degenerate early masterpieces – Peaches, No More Heroes, Nice N’ Sleazy – between classier and more considered 80s singles, to portrait one of the few bands that arrived in the punk age as melodically primed as ...
