"skin on skin"
Posted: Tue Mar 10, 2009 12:53 amI heard this on a November '82 KROQ aircheck. Sounds like Bob Geldof is singing. Real good track. Who is this?
The Boomtown Rats! [?]
Geldof was the lead singer...

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."
