Yep, I LOVE PIL. I saw them in 1982 at Roseland Ballroom in NYC (which was a nice venue back then, unlike the dive it is today).

"Second Edition" is the best thing they ever did -- a total work of art. You can't just listen to one song, you must liste

"The Order of Death" was always my favorite by P.I.L.
