I have included this album purely because the Boomtown Rats were the first band I saw live. The tour was to promote the release of this album. It has the amazing song I Don't Like Mondays which me and my mates used to whisper the lyrics to each other during geography lessons. [First added to this chart: 05/18/2012]
