      Slightly odd thing to say. Gang Of Four were formed in 1976 (and pretty much sounded like this from the start), PiL started in 1978. And (at least to my ears) although there is some cross-over, they sound quite different!

    I saw them in Sydney, a few months before Andy Gill went home and died. I was a little skeptical about only one of four remaining, but under his stewardship they remained true to spirit of GoF’s body of work. I came away not caring that there were people in the band who weren’t born when I bought Entertainment. A truly great band to the end.
