Wow, a Stranglers fan, I saw them in 78 at a theater in the East Village. Always liked there stuff. They were blessed with a most unfortunate name, for in their later years their sound was quite accessible, but the image got in the way. The Beach Boys also picked a name that didn't allow them to grow....
