In high school, I played every new album over and over. By day 3 I’d have the lyrics, credits, and run-out groove etching memorized. I stopped just short of chewing on the vinyl to see how it tasted. So this is almost a random pick, but I thought the Buzzcocks could use some love. (Btw, I kinda agree with the YouTube commenter who says “This is the only 7-minute song I can listen to.”)
