Real punk
Love ogwt
Lyric wise Poly is brilliant, check her last LP, still the the same concerns. People said punks were stupid, but they didn't listen. They should have listened, and maybe then learned. Poly knew the future esp. about consumerism. Dumb arses didn't listen, so we got what we got!!
Doton Adebayo And Wingate Dance To This Song On The Virtual Jukebox 🤔😩🚬🚭
I listen it first time in 2024 😊….👍
This LP is a masterpiece. Before they came along, if you told anyone a saxophone could work in punk rock, they would have thought you were nuts.
“Move On Fast” Yoko Ono, 1973. They thought she was nuts though and punk hadn’t been invented yet but it was proto-punk, so your point still stands.
Yes, You're right, it can work...as with X-ray Spex, Essential Logic and (my favourites) The Cravats.Their 1980 LP "In Toytown" is ace!
My mind is like a plasic bag ❤
She was great. …. I remember those days well.
They sound great, punk band that time forgot sadly, RIP Poly.
That she did'nt liv to record with The POP GROUP is A CRIME ouch
❤
So talented, she was brilliant.
Loved this song since I was 13 and 1st heard it in 1978. LOVED the scene in Handmaid's Tale when they bomb the new red center so much
10:10 My mind is like a switchboard, full of crossed and tangled lines.
The girls and some young women that i new wanted to be Poly Styrene because she was the bizz
*I still get so excited and filed with exhilaration when listening to X-Ray Spex after almost 45 years.*
I remember why I liked her as a teenager and now I love her for her beat poetry and she is timeless.
R.I.P. Lovely Poly people died, when we don't forgot them. . . . 😇
Thank you.😂 Worked at a vinyl shop at the time. One day this LP came in new British import. Been listening to it since..
Just can’t stop watching this, it’s amazing I knew about this group before but never listened to any of their music, until now! Polly is such a great talent and her band are brilliant especially the sax player, this performance on the OGWT is iconic and is testament to how great she and her band was, RIP beautiful lady 💖
I love the wobblevision done only on the colouring under the lines. I don't think I've seen that before.
The best punk bank
Shame the original sax player was told to leave, she was awesome.
Told to leave? Wonder why. So that's when Lora Logic joined the band?
@@johnsilva9139 i assumed it was Lora logic ( the original sax player) that got asked to leave the band. There is a documentary on y.t. that mentions it.
That voice ❤❤❤
I just realise today how bold it was to include a saxophone in a punk band at the time. They were afraid of no one!
Sorry Poly but you and your music is anything but disposable.
Quite painful to watch her having a nervous breakdown basically
She got it all sussed great lyrics and music
Probably the most unconventional punk star ever. A total original. RIP.
Poly has a great voice and the band have a great sound. Never had the chance to see them
Identity! Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity When you look in the mirror, do you see yourself? Do you see yourself on the TV screen? Do you see yourself in the magazine? When you see yourself, does it make you scream? Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity Yeah! Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity When you look in the mirror, do you smash it quick? Do you take the glass and slash your wrists? Did you do it for fame? Did you do it in a fit? Did you do it before you read about it? Identity is the crisis, can't you see? Identity, identity Yeah!
Beautiful
I know this is old
the song is different 😮.
Great fucking band.
smash
I love it well done xx
Talk about your under played bands. This band deserved better.
Vdd
Tough top 5 but imo pil the slits and flux of pink indians would be in mine.Too many bands we forget,plus television (tv) personalities
That’s my mum at 36:16 😊
Super yeahhhh !😊
When asked "how do you see your music developing" she answers "maybe to the sound of a Hoover "
