Number 136: Pete Shelley - If You Ask Me (I Won't Say No)

I'm not really a fan of the Buzzcocks' music, but when lead singer Pete Shelley went solo in 1980 he ditched the electric guitar, grabbed a synthesizer, and made some really cool tunes. His second solo LP, XL1 featured "If You Ask Me (I Won't Say No)", an awesome track that for some reason was never released as a single. It's my favorite Pete Shelley song and earns him the #136 spot in his only appearance on my Top 200.

    Shelley has many cool ones ... for me his masterpiece is also on XL1 - 'Many a Time". Didn't discover it until recently but it blew me away. Esp the 6+ minute version - awesome bass + jam
