Babylon's Burning.

Punk might be the way to go here. I'd also throw in:

Emergency
Gary Gilmore's Eyes
Ambition

Wouldn't 'Bored Teenagers' or 'One Chord Wonders' be a better shout for their best-known song, G? Any of the three would be a good pick as their best song anyway!

No, you definitely used to hear GGE a lot more. It even made TOTP.

Yep, I've never heard of Bored Teenagers or One Chord Wonders.
Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Agreed, but maybe 'In A Rut' is as good as 'Babylon's Burning'.

In fact I think I might prefer it.
