Hi, just want to say I like this board a lot!

In no particular order, nor necessarily genre-consistent:

Senses Working Overtime - XTC
All the Young Punks - The Clash
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush (this one just never gets old )
Ooh Ooh La La LA - The Raincoats
I Found That Essence Rare - Gang of Four
Little Girls - Oingo Boingo
Mind Your Own Business - Delta 5
This Ain't no Picnic - The Minutemen
What Do I Get? - Buzzcocks
Germfree Adolescents - X-Ray Spex

I only chose one song per artist, but boy was it hard picking one Kate Bush song or one Clash song!

Exrat, I love you for mentioning Kirsty MacColl...
