Love this list. I considered the Tubeway Army, DMZ and Mekons cuts. All so great. Didn’t get around to listening to the Patti Smith. It’s been too long. Love the Reich pick. Future topic: intro songs (See: Thank You For Sending Me An Angel)? Also, as usual, a lot for me to get acquainted with here (Eno, This Heat, Cabaret, ATV, etc.).
