\"Rods
Rods (aka Eddie and the Hot Rods) – Do anything you wanna do (Island Records WIP6401, 1977)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is strange – i guess everybody knows the song (and it is one of the very best teenage rebellion anthems i can think off) but hardly anyone knows the record is was on. It was not on their first LP (Teenage Depression) but on a single made under their moniker (The) Rods. It was only pushed onto their 2nd LP by the sheer success (#9 in UK Top 10 by August 1977). But whatever – this is was is a perfect outcome from the 1976\/1977 melting pot in London!<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977\u00a0\u2013\u00a0sure thing!
\n<\/em>published by a cool lable\u00a0\u2013 Nope, Island was a major!
\n<\/em>found in a cool shop\u00a0\u2013 must have been early 80’s, guess at Stoneys 2nd hand record shop in Barmbek!
\n<\/em>catching sound\u00a0\u2013 \u00a0are you fucking deaf?<\/em>
\n<\/em>The lyrics\u00a0\u2013 teenage rebellion 1977! Forever my very own theme! And, as a side note, the lyrics are from the bands manager (Ed Hollis) \u00a0rather then the band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Read out loud:<\/p>\n
