the Stranglers - Greatest Hits

year 77-90 review: I know that purists might disagree with the idea of a “Greatest Hits” album, and in some respects I share their opinion, I feel that in situations such as this where you’re talking about a band of such longevity, the only way for many to become aware of the earlier phases of the band’s career is through a collection such as this one. I’d definitely make the suggestion that if you’re interested in a GREAT punk rock album, you should get your hands on “Rattus Norvegicus”. If you’re more interested in the evolution of a great rock band, you can’t go wrong with this “Greatest Hits” album. I recommend it highly!
