I heard this on a November '82 KROQ aircheck. Sounds like Bob Geldof is singing. Real good track. Who is this?

Weird that "I Don't Like Monday's" and before that, "Looking After Number One" were the probably the Rats' most recognized songs. To me though, "Skin On Skin" and "Up All Night" will always be their quintessential tracks, probably specifically because of the KROQ airply.

Ditto! And from the later albums I enjoy "Dave" and "Never In A Million Years," as well as the ska-/reggae-influenced song "House On Fire."
