Oh Bondage, Up Yours!
This week’s list is a tribute to the late, great Poly Styrene, who passed away earlier this week from complications due to breast cancer at the age of 53. Admittedly, I don’t know her solo material nor have I heard the record that X-Ray Spex did in the mid ’90s, so this will consist mostly of material from Germ Free Adolescents, one of the finest UK punk albums of all-time, and the singles that they cut during their initial run.
X-Ray Spex – “Oh Bondage, Up Yours”
X-Ray Spex – “I Live Off of You”
X-Ray Spex – “Plastic Bag”
X-Ray Spex – “Genetic Engineering”
X-Ray Spex – “Germ Free Adolescents”
X-Ray Spex – “Identity”
X-Ray Spex – “Warrior in Woolworths”
X-Ray Spex – “The Day The World Turned Dayglo”
X-Ray Spex – “I Can’t Do Anything”
Mari Elliott – “Silly Billy”
