The Stranglers weren't really punk in the same way that the Clash weren't.That is a really good Doors album, especially for a debut.
Just listening to the Marvin Gaye album and really liking it; I always liked the title track which is probably one of the best protest tracks ever written.

I also liked their (lengthy) version of "walk on by"..

Walk On By is brilliant. Couldn't find the full-length version on YT sadly.

Zeppelin Second remains my firm favourite for me, like the first plenty of nods towards Willie Dixon, they eventually settled paying him a large amount of cash.My only album by Rodders, and again for me his best work.
Stranglers the best prog rock punks.
