Stingray Jan 13, 2012 - 10:35 | This music is as stupidly bad as the terribly-terribly disgusting cover-"design" "1" |

fredriley Aug 26, 2010 - 05:28 | More than 4 notes in the vocals might add to the interest, as might a more varied background. As it stands, this is the stuff of lullabies. 3 from the suddenly somnolent Nottingham jury |

Synth80s Nov 14, 2009 - 09:09 | I haven't heard this quirky gem in a long time even though I have the album. Just another reason RP rocks. I saw these guys open for Thomas Dolby, O.M.D. and Depeche Mode at the famous 101 show in 1988. I was already a fan (though not as familiar with their earlier work at the time) and I liked them even more after seeing them live. |

billybob123 May 08, 2009 - 16:35 | Even Wire's more "accessible" tracks are more interesting than most "edgy" songs by other bands. I like the song Ambitious. (When it's cold I feel cold, but when it's hot I feel ambitious.) That'd be nice to hear one day on RP. |
jlind May 08, 2009 - 16:30 | The sampling on this is so incoherent that I had to make sure I didn't have two audio sources playing. |
RadioDoc May 08, 2009 - 16:30 | This really deserves to be played more than once per year.... |

lixy May 07, 2008 - 16:03 | We didn't start the wire.
It was always burning since the world was turning. |
diazo Mar 05, 2008 - 15:30 | Even though this was Wire at their most accessible, it's still great. More Wire! |
Jacksonstat Dec 02, 2007 - 09:14 | Whoa, haven't heard this in a long time! I like it :) |

"It" above being that "Map Ref." And I agree, these would all be great additions to the playlist. |

pianocomposer Feb 10, 2006 - 10:31 | In reading these comments, apparently few of you realizes that Wire has been around since the 70s...they are considered pioneers in modern music. This is one of the most influential bands of the 20th century in rock. Seriously.
Unfortunately, this is not one of their better songs during a period when they were making accessible music. Check out their new album, "Send" or their earlier efforts. These guys seriously rock! Here are a couple of links: (click here) or (click here) |
