Outside of Black Sabbath and the Ramones, it’s hard to imagine a band more influential to Alternative music than Wire. Without their first three albums, 80’s Post Punk & College Rock, 90’s Shoegaze & Brit Pop and the indie rock of 2000’s would have all sounded completely different and early 80’s Hardcore maybe never exists.  Their 1977 debut is simultaneously a totem of its time and entirely timeless. Pink Flag's songs span just over thirty five minutes and there’s nary a wasted second with every note spawning a new genre / inspiring a new band.  We dive deep.  Flex your head.    Recommended Listening   EP41:  Gang of Four “Entertainment’  https://huntsmanhill.com/2017/10/02/ep41-gang-of-four-entertainment/   EP209:  Television “Marquee Moon”  https://huntsmanhill.com/2023/02/12/ep209-television-marquee-moon/   “Whore:  Various Artists Play Wire” https://www.discogs.com/release/101972-Various-Whore-Various-Artists-Play-Wire   HHPP Spotify Track:  “Fr
