The Boys Alternative Chartbusters LP reissue
Their second album, from 1978, is one of the greatest pop records ever. It also just so happened to be a punk record. These songs are as catchy and infectious as they were the first time I ever heard them, which was many years ago. If you’re not familiar with this band, do yourself a favor and check it out. While you’re there, listen to their self-titled debut album. I’m serious. If you do nothing else today…this one’s got some bonus cuts including the holiday classic “Silent Night.” Here’s a fun fact: the band put out a number of Christmas singles under the name the YOBS. Get it?
