[edit] Singles section needs attention

What's with the singles section here? It's certainly not an accurate discography, and as an avid collector of 25 years, I have not heard of the single Mad Hatter - that's an album track

I have added a list of UK Chart singles up to 1988 and moved the previous table here if anyone more familiar with the table formatting and the US Chart positions wants to re-format the list using it. Ian Dunster 14:49, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Year	Title	Chart positions				Album
		US Hot 100	US Modern Rock	US Mainstream Rock	UK
1990	"Sweet Smell of Success"	-	#5	-	-	10

[edit] Stranglers in Fight Club?

The article claims that the music of the Stranglers was used in the movie Fight Club. I'm not sure this is true... the final song in the film is Where is my mind? by the Pixies, and I think the rest of the score was all by the Dust Brothers. Can anyone confirm the Stranglers' appearance in the film? -- OwlofDoom 13:28, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Maybe the writer was thinking of Snatch, in which "Golden Brown" is played. - Vague | Rant 07:11, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC)

might have been thinking of Sexy Beast, in which Peaches was used.

The article does mention that too, though, although it may have been a different author... -- OwlofDoom 08:03, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The IMDB soundtrack listing at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0137523/soundtrack has no mention of The Stranglers

I'm removing the mention then - until someone comes up with evidence. Spikeballs 19:56, Mar 4, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Claims of Bias

This article *really* needs to be rewritten. The author does not even try to hide his bias ("Take one listen to the title track from the album -- even just the first minute -- and you'll be convinced"). [Anonymous]

I agree completely. The article is more of a positive review by a gushing fan than an encyclopædic entry! (A Psarisch)

Agreed - I'm a fan, but a bit of objectivity would be nice!

[edit] Jump Over My Shadow

I don't know much about that double CD, I saw it just one time in a shop (haven't bought it). It isn't noticed in the discography or anywhere else.
