🇬🇧 Nick Straker Band "A Walk in the Park" – 1979

The bright, breezy melody and disco groove suggest pure escapism, but the song was actually born out of frustration. Nick Straker came up with the idea while walking through Battersea Park after an argument with his girlfriend. The 12" version gives the groove even more room to breathe...

🇬🇧 Sex Pistols "God Save the Queen" – 1977

A confrontational punk anthem that became a cultural flashpoint in Britain during the late 70s. With a deliberately abrasive attitude, the track channels frustration, alienation, and anti-establishment anger into a direct, explosive statement in one of punk’s defining moments...
