No More Heroes

First, let's hear from Hugh Cornwell.

As frontman of The Stranglers, Hugh helped create some of the most memorable records of the late '70s and '80s, from Peaches and No More Heroes to Golden Brown and Always the Sun.

But Hugh has never been particularly interested in standing still.

He left The Stranglers in 1990 and has spent the decades since carving out a successful solo career, continuing to write, record, and perform on his own terms.

Yeah, some people didn't really like that.

In 1977, The Stranglers released No More Heroes.

This was actually released only five months after their debut album.

It hit number two on the UK albums chart and it had the songs No More Heroes and Something Better Change.

In 1981, Tommy Two-Tone released Tommy Two-Tone 2.

This was a huge album for them.

So a good, good bunch of prog in there, a Joe Cocker, a Burning Spear.

Uh, okay, September 23rd, '77, [smacks lips] um, again, more changing of the guard, punk versus the old school, because you've got Steely Dan, Aja, uh, against, uh, The Stranglers, No More Heroes, The Boys, The Boys.

Uh, there's a Rolling Stones live album in there as well, Love You Live.

There's a Carpenters album if you wanna go really old school.
