EP231: Buzzcocks "Singles Going Steady"

Buzzcocks first three proper studio albums, released from 1977-’81, are all very good but nothing released by the band (or really any other band) before or since can touch their 1979 singles compilation.  Whether or not you're a fan of Punk, Pop Punk, Power Pop or the fucking Beatles, Singles Going Steady is undeniable.  It’s a lesson in world class song writing with a driving pulse and hooks for days.  None of your favorite bands exist without it.      RIP Pete Shelley  RIP Bob Nalbandian   Recommended Listening:   EP67:  The Very Best of Daryl Hall & John Oates https://huntsmanhill.com/2018/06/25/ep67-hall-oates-the-very-best-of-daryl-hall-john-oates/   EP142:  Compilations  https://huntsmanhill.com/2020/12/06/ep142-compilations/   EP145:  Band Compilations https://huntsmanhill.com/2021/01/11/ep145-band-compilations/   Jawbox “Airwaves Dream” https://open.spotify.com/track/6txJ4dXM6JSsFePWN1txCd?si=42a38f9297e443d5   Playlist “Friend Zone:  Bradman Chapley"  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1AkTwWJaPealDOicwlwfKt?si=108791b5657844f6   Contact us at:  [email protected] Spotify Playlist:  https://open.spotify.com/user/1298220429/playlist/4gy1wWwypkoFS2lUztvZ44?si=waSq07DBQlq3x9G1_nK0pg   HHPP Amazon Affiliates Store https://huntsmanhill.com/2022/06/09/hhpp-store/   Our Music manhuntsman:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/7tFBWn0UFkdOEMf67TRD6W?si=vzllkbDwSEmfZFlj02GLRwAcademy O.C:  https://academyoc.bandcamp.com/album/academy-o-c   Omertà 68:  https://open.spotify.com/artist/6dfiCa0qTlbPQUrqtIkStS?si=6SCjNtXbSO2xRBDuBKJelQ   huntsmanhill.com instagram.com/huntsmanhill https://twitter.com/HuntsmanHill
