One of the things that we find quite gratifying about these double episodes is the amount of time we can spend talking about a storied band’s large back catalogue. Of course, in many ways that’s the entire raison d'etre of this whole damn enterprise, but it feels particularly good when you’ve spent a bunch of time learning about an artist and can just splurge all this knowledge out in a way that (we hope) is enlightening and educational. Our new pod friend Ferruccio is back this week and we finally dive into Pink Flag in itself. Many argue, many punk and hardcore luminaries no less, that it is the most important punk album of all time. Indeed, in many ways one could argue it’s the only proper punk album Wire have ever made (relative to the scene at the time). Either way, there is no denying how influential this album has been, but we suggest here that this album, and my extension Wire as a band, are more of a band’s band. As ever, we give the record a good once over and Ferruccio brings in some top tier post-punk knowledge to lend us an air of credibility. Of course, the real question here is: does Pink Flag deserve a place in our discography? Vote below!
