Leeds United Chat • Re: Album of 1982 - NOMINATE NOW!

A few were in the running - Kate Bush, Crass, Flux Of Pink Indians, The Jam and The Associates all considered but I'm going for

XTC - English Settlement

Please.

Thanks for picking it up Durly! Combat Rock is a victim of its success I think. It's hard to keep your punk cred when Should I Stay or Should I Go is getting played on commercial radio and at wedding receptions. It's no London Calling but listened to in a vacuum it's a great record by any measure.
