With a simple heavy guitar riff and flirtatious lyrics, the song would cement music’s garage and punk rock standard. Maybe you know their other big hit, “Love Is All Around”? (More recently heard in the movie Love, Actually). The Troggs influenced the likes of Iggy Pop, the Ramones, and later bands like R.E.M. and Spiritualized. This week’s throwback is the tropical and wavy “I’ll Buy You An Island” (1975). Exactly my kind of romance.

beautiful work! posters for posterity!2
I like it. And it grabbed your attention esp. if you posted a comment below. whether you love it or hate I don't see anything where it promotes violence or degrading women.. what i see is government taking away the rights of a citizen n the rights away from people. Failure to follow instructions will land us in prison like the model. Now if steven photographed the same concept with average shmucks would we pay much attention to it? i dont think so. it'd be just another political journalistic photograph.3
