Bands that are better than the stranglers....

[cassini]

Stone roses
Talking heads

Any others?

[Bag Lady]

Better in what way? Under certain criteria One Direction are better than the Stranglers.........

[Bobinblack]

All those classic albums by Stone Roses eh

[ThruBeingCool]

I don't think any band has been better than The Stranglers circa 1977 to 1982, occasionally equalled but never beaten. After the golden age though many bands have brought out music or performed live gigs that have been as good as or even better than The Stranglers efforts.

[Hammersmith1982]

Marillion 1980 to 1985 equals

[Ravenette]

Abba - without a doubt!

No other band has ever equalled the stranglers for me, no matter what I listen to I always go back to the strangs as my "reference point".

However I'm sure there's a lot of stuff I haven't heard, so any suggestions & I will try. I already know about abba & in fact they were my favorite group once[SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

But marillion, I never really tried them - what album would you recommend to start off with ?

You do all realise when Pidge sees this we will be subjected to the M word...

[Five Minutes]

The Chameleons

[theraven1979]

No one comes close.


There's some other amazing bands out there though - XTC, Damned, Buzzcocks....

Why does everything have to be a competition?
