The AnthologyThe Anthology by X-Ray Spex

'oh bondage! up yours!' ever wanted to shout that? well, now you can do it in time to the music. this and many other brilliant lines are shot all through the music, and Poly's voice is incredible.

the first album to convince me that hip hop is about more than guns and beeatches, and is therefore interesting. hehe, his voice gets a lil' deeper on every album
