Definitely RIP. I strongly like X-Ray Spex.
There are few things more beautiful than a sporting montage with a soft-rock soundtrack

X-RAY SPEX had one great Punk album, nearly overlooked stateside.  Good night MARIANNE, we always thought of you as POLY.

Never heard of her, but 53 is way too young.  :bluesad:
Kneel before Dr. Hell, the ruler of this world!

Now THIS was a song. It was one of those songs that you hear the first time and never forget. I laughed my ass off the first time I heard it, and was like "WTF"? 

Very fun and free-wheeling. Rest In Peace, Marianne.  :bluesad:
Tam-Riel na nou Sancremath.
Dawn's Beauty is our shining home.

An varlais, nou bala, an kynd, nou latta.
The stars are our power, the sky is our light.

Malatu na nou karan.
Truth is our armor.

Malatu na bala
Truth is power.

Heca, Pellani! Agabaiyane Ehlnadaya!
Be gone, outsiders! I do not fear your mortal gods!

Auri-El na nou ata, ye A, Umaril, an Aran!
Aure-El is our father, and I, Umaril, the king!

What was great-along with Poly's screaming hit-the sky-vocals-was that they brought sax to punk! One of the first British punk bands...who never got the airplay they truly deserved.
RIP Poly. You are loved.

You got it mate!  That was what got me into the song too, the fact that it was punk rock with a saxophone in it. How many days did that come along? Not to mention Marianne being a 98-pound soaking wet ball of attitude that would have sent Godzilla home with his tail between his legs.   :bouncegiggle:

Seeing the one guitarist with this sleeveless shirt and high top sneakers makes me miss the 80's so much...If only I had a time machine.
