With their unique sound and politically charged lyrics, this band has managed to transcend the confines of traditional pop music and carve out their own niche in the industry. Their album "Penthouse and Pavement" remains a classic of the genre, with hits like "Temptation" and "We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thang" solidifying their status as musical legends.
