Best Stiff Little Fingers song

[El Presidente]

Listening to Inflammable Material last night, (which depressingly is 37 years old) in a bit of a punk nostalgiafest.

It did give me the BURNING question though, what was the best SLF song. Can't really include Johnny Was as it was a Marley cover.

After much soul searching I went for Wasted Life, which just got the nod over Alternative Ulster and Suspect Device.

Can't believe that music used to be so important though, listening to today's toons and it's just entertainment for the masses.

Easy

Tin Soldier

 

[Wendy Wilkins]

For me it has to be Gotta Getaway as we're not allowed Johnny Was

 

[happypig]

[Deportivo Seagull]

Suspect Device

 

[aolstudios]

Sorry, Johnny Was for me

 

[carlzeiss]

[Napier's Knee]

The very best band from Northern Ireland. Tin Soldier for me.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Yes, I love the live version on Hanx is incredible. What a voice. Tin Solider is hard to beat though.
Although the first two albums are clearty the best, Go For it's "Piccadilly Circus" retains Burn's sense of anger at injustice superbly. A great band.

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Alternative Ulster & it's iconic SLF (& punk) intro is still exhilarating & haunting today

 

[alfredmizen]

Alternative Ulster
Suspect device
Gotta getaway

 

[Hiney]

Not a long list to choose from as can only think of Them, Undertones and Snow Patrol, no doubt there are others that broke out, anyway Alternative Ulster for me.
