## What 2 lists say

### No. 3 in [Post-Punk](https://waxonia.com/genre/post-punk/)

Andy Gill treats the guitar as a percussion instrument that mostly stays silent. The politics are in the arrangement as much as the lyric, which is what separates this band from everyone who copied them.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-the-hundred/)

A guitar used as a percussion instrument that mostly stays silent. The politics are in the arrangement, which is what separates this band from everyone who copied them.
