There is a lot going on right now and I really can’t wrap my mind around columns about X, Y and Z. These are some tough letters to cover and I have already been over them a couple of times in the past therefore they are about to be passed over. No offence.
The Yobs
Greatest collection of Christmas singles of all time? Had to be The Yobs. Their three singles from 1977-1979 (“Run Rudolph Run”/”Silent Night”/”Rub A Dum Dum”) were the perfect renditions for the time and place, and their very existence would pave the way for another band with members under assumed names Me First & The Gimme Gimmes. The Yobs were actually British punk/powerpop band The Boys who swapped a couple of letters in their name in order to work around a bad record company deal that they were stuck in.
