I was 19...read a review of this album in Creem...bought it and played it non-stop for weeks, lost most of my worthless 'friends', learned to think for myself and tell the rest of the world to f--- off...best $8 I ever spent.

I'm from Brazil and I think this the best song by the band that I knew from long time ago. A Brazilian called "Paralamas Di Sucesso" reused the main riff on a Song called "Selvagem?" ("Wild?"), it went really good. Check it out in the TH-cam.
I'd say they're underrecognized, not unrecognized. They're recognized as being one of the most influential rock bands in the last 30+ years. Almost all alternative and indie rock is influenced by Go4 either directly or indirectly. But they are underrecognized because not everyone has heard of them (which sucks).
Bourgeois swapped with perfect in the lyrics, also "repackaged sex" "keep your interest" it becomes two seperate lines. Interesting to here the difference
Just a quote from Misfits. Me being a dork and shouting out to the few that came here because of that show. Though I don't think it'd be super great to be immortal actually.
Do you realize that Flea was big fan by Gang of Four? It's fine if you don't like them but you shouldn't trash them especially when the other band you bring up probably wouldn't even exist without them.

I popped billies to this and tried joining the socialist party years later hahaha
I think the read the same review at the same age. . . .
Lyrically one of the best songs ever written.
This has to be one of the best punk songs ever, such an electrifying energy!!
The awesome Gang of Four. Essential music.
Such drums. Such guitar. Such lyrics. Sublime.
R.I.P. Andy Gill. Truly unique.
I've listened to this 90 bajillion times but cheers to Sam Sifton, cooking editor at The NYT, for always exceptional recos in his newsletter.
One of the greatest songs of all time.
this song rocked my life & still does! NOTHING like it today or anyday........
Gang of Four sold more Solid Gold second album in ex Yugoslavia then in UK..fucking brilliant band..
Their marxism was probably less at home in uk than yugoslavia
Happy country is Yugoslavia...good song.
I remember EXACTLY when I first heard this all those years ago, and how exciting it was. It still is.
RIP Andy Gill, really tight post punk.
Such an amazing underrated post-punk band, they're amazing live!
Congratulations, you've just made it through an 8-hour Adam Curtis documentary.
Great song by a criminally unrecognized band.
RIP Andy Gill that is, the peace you seek
This side of punk always caught my fancy. I love the vocal rhythm.
Still listening GO4 after 17 years 😁
choppy post punk art school brilliance.
Lyrics:
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
Ideal love, a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Remember Lot's wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the perfect life
This heaven gives me migraine
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
Coercion of the senses
We are not so gullible
Our great expectations
A future for the good
Fornication makes you happy
No escape from society
Natural is not in it
Your relations are of power
We all have good intentions
But all with strings attached
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
Repackaged sex keeps your interest
The problem of leisure
What to do for pleasure
Ideal love, a new purchase
A market of the senses
Dream of the perfect life
Economic circumstances
The body is good business
Sell out, maintain the interest
Remember Lot's wife
Renounce all sin and vice
Dream of the perfect life
This heaven gives me migraine
This heaven gives me migraine
This heaven gives me migraine
Perfect
Entertainment was a classic.
Masterpiece:)
On God it is!
classic awesomeness
que cancion tan increible
Love it . I was in 11th grade and thought it was so hot then.
If only all punk was this good

this is the peel sessions version, thats why it sounds a bit different

Never heard it and I love ADam Ant :)

They were so good. Loudest show I ever attended. RIP Andy. How did you play that...?
❤️
Rip Andy
I came here because of marie antoinette, some music homework and this shit is amazing.
Don't understand what's unrecognized about this band? I live in Serbia in 2012. and people DO TALK about this band
Marie antoniette!
Andy didn't just play guitar at you....he smashed you on the face with it.....cheers Andy...RIP
They are contemporaries of PiL, perhaps they influenced each other. Anyway, they are two of the best bands ever!

Marie Antoinette's soundtrack was the album of my HS senior year. Good times.

You are late. The film came out in 2006. Jiang Qing's group was big in the late 1960's.
digital artefacts
Misfits
all about Nathatn "Melon Fucker"
hahaha
like si viniste por wicho de MDC
Not in the U.S.
Could a dead man do this?
What particular version is this? Every version I find of this track and Damaged Goods sounds really dry.
Don't be fooled by this version, it's not the original and the break is too long. PTxS
This is The Original version
This song is garbage. How is someone gunna compare this to Cant Stop - RHCP? People need to get some taste in good music
Do you realize that Flea was big fan by Gang of Four? It's fine if you don't like them but you shouldn't trash them especially when the other band you bring up probably wouldn't even exist without them.
LOL. Comparing RHCP to Gang of Four. Dying laughing here.
That's me :)
10 months on and I'm still laughing.
+freddie Gang of Four are one of the greatest punk rock band ever
