Rip poly
Fondly remembered to this day. She broke the mould.
Way ahead of their time
Died far too young. In time to come, history will recognise Polly as a key player in the punk cannon. A thinking woman's Jonny Rotten!!!
All time classic
Poly Styrene for ever
Punk rules
I've seem hundreds of bands over the years, but X-Ray Spex were the first!
I'm sorry Polly styrene is dead R.IP I don't like to hear of anyone demise
I used to get my Thursday night laughs out of this group these punk acts were th highlight ofy Thursday nights on top of the pops when the punk thing ended I was sad. Because there was nothing to Laugh at anymore punk was comical🇬🇧
I appreciate this comment lol you're the new age clown and you gave me a great laugh.
Vraiment trop bien
How is it some of my heroines are dead? Like Astrud Gilberto and of course Poly. Poly amazing but the group was also fantastic, the sax was a huge difference and unusual. Yes, Germ Free Adolescents vastly underrated and a punk classic Still we have Chrissy and Debbie still going strong,
When I think about it what a stupid name for a programme. But at least with Annie we had some decent punk, this lady is just amazing, we need another programme now showing decent content including old and new
When music moguls got the first cut of a record, they would play it to the doormen in grey suits, known colloquially as the old greys. Any song they could recall and whistle, after having heard it a couple of times, was deemed to have passed the old grey whistle test and was destined to become a popular hit.
goggles on hat like Hawkwind
Absolutely makes me want to abandon accepted midwestern social norms, and jet off to the U.K. and become a soccer hooligan.
One of the greatest ever punk tracks 💯❤
Poly and the Spex, thre was a certain something about them.
im only hearing: eee eee eee eee hiii ee hiii eee
Era fantastica ha fatto un Era
This band released the second best album ever. Behind never mind the bollocks. Totally Original.
My first ever concert, Birmingham Odeon 1978. RIP Polly
I ❤ed Polystyrene, she and X Ray Spex were unique in Punk, their songs were more relatable and understandable, some of the other punk groups were just a screaming din! Their songs were relevant then and in some respects even more relevant today. People were more genuine in the 70s, unlike today, but poor Polystyrene sadly she had emotional/mental health issues and found it difficult to cope with the attention and fame.😢
They were not only out there, X-Ray Spex were VERY good live.
What exactly is the S.R. Way?
S.R. was a toothpaste back in the day, brushed her teeth 10 times a day the S.R way 👍🏻
SR was a brand of toothpaste.
SR was a brand of toothpaste.
Gibbs was the brand, SR was actually the product name, it was known as Gibbs SR. Gibbs SR was the first advert to be broadcast on British television on the 22nd Sept 1955, the product is now known as Mentadent SR The SR product name is the active ingredient, Sodium Ricinoleate

Poly❤️🎧😄
I think Jak Airport (R.I.P.) Paul Dean, Paul B.P. Hurding and Lora Logic (Rudi Thompson) were an amazing band! Legendary!
I think Jak Airport, Paul Dean, Paul B.P. Hurding and Lora Logic (then Rudi Thompson) were an amazing band! Legendary!
Jak Airport, Paul Dean, Paul B.P. Hurding and Lora Logic (then Rudi Thompson) were an amazing band! Jak Airport passed away in 2004 - but you would never know that because almost everyone here comes to praise and remember only one person in this band. Sad.
X-Ray Spex was an incredible band. A band - a group effort. X-Ray Spex was not just a solo artist singer and songwriter.
this is sublime !
" I wanna be a frozen pea" Poly Styrene.
Polly out~punx Johnny Rotten by a country mile.
Do you write for the tabloids Its not a competition Punx what is that? Another tabloid manipulation You wernt about at the time I'm guessing
In my humble opinion, there are four truly great punk albums: The Clash, Germfree Adolescents, The Ramones, Bullocks.
Nevermind !!
And crossing the red sea with the adverts!!
Rattus Norvegicus tops them all.
The entire record is great. Poly was a trailblazer.
She died the year I was born 😢
Love the old school punk
Poly Strene is an absolute legend 🧡
Even polystyrene 😂
CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED BAND
