50 years of tunes - 1979 - Stiff Little Fingers "Inflammable Material"

I feel like I've written about this album a lot. Rightly so though as it's undoubtedly one of my favourite albums and one that doesn't get mentioned as much as I think it deserves. Stiff Little Fingers are a fantastic live band and Jake Burns a great songwriter who found the perfect balance between pop catchiness and punk energy.
