Only one album I want to die with

Marky has realized that despite Joy Division, New Order, Led Zeppelin, Can et al,

there is only one release in the entire world I need die with to be happy: Billy Bragg "Back To Basics". CD or Double LP or if it was on cassette, whatever. It had a big chunk of his earliest material. Just him solo, with an electric guitar as a staggeringly powerful folk, political instrument.

Yeah, anyway, I really mean it, just bury me with Billy Bragg's Back To Basics and I'll be happy from here to enternity.

Also all these Brits rave about the Billy Bragg song "Levi Stubb's Tears" which is also amazing!!!!

But please put me into the ground with Back To Basics...

Artist: Billy Bragg
Album: Back to Basics - 3 reviews: *****
Year: 1987

[Yeah, well, Marky says that's not an accurate year at all for this music, 1987, haha because it was recorded at least 4 years earlier than that on various records before it was compiled into one CD, possibly as late as 1987, so big deal if it ended up on CD finally in 1987]

One strum of his guitar and Bush et al would cower in fright. It's the end. Dems will win in November.
