On this day, November 9, 1981, The Stranglers released their sixth album, La Folie. Known for its blend of punk and new wave, the album reached #11 on the UK charts and featured the hit single “Golden Brown,” which became one of the band’s signature songs. La Folie showcased The Stranglers’ evolving sound, mixing dark themes with catchy melodies and pushing the boundaries of their genre.

Who remembers La Folie? Is “Golden Brown” a favorite, or do you have another top track from this album?
