Suicide "Surrender"

Suicide (Alan Vega and Martin Rev) was like no band before or after.  Well, maybe some after, as their sound has been highly influential...but no one quite got it right like Suicide.  Their first album (S/T - 1977) was unbelievably progressive and unique for its time.  I urge you to check it out (clip below).  

But above is a track from their 1988 album, "A Way of Life."  Keep in mind: this was done before this sort of thing was considered ironic...it was genuine.
Download "A Way of Life (1988)" HERE
PS - As AQD posted a bit back, Bruce Springsteen did a wonderful cover of Suicide's Dream Baby Dream.  Check that out HERE.  Bruce continues to surprise with his eclectic taste.
