## What 2 lists say

### No. 6 in [Punk](https://waxonia.com/genre/punk/)

Manchester works out that the speed and the distortion also suit a pop song about humiliation. Pete Shelley's melodies are the reason punk had anywhere to go afterwards.

### Picked by [Sung to Someone](https://waxonia.com/theme/sung-to-someone/)

The parenthesis is the entire song, and it is pointed at exactly the person it means. Pete Shelley asked one specific human being that question, then played it fast enough that everybody else could pretend it was about them.
