The Vault: These Are The Only Ones You Need To Listen To
Britain’s the Only Ones are best known stateside for “Another Girl, Another Planet,” the late-’70s love-is-a-drug power-pop lament that’s been covered by numerous hard-living bar-bands, including the Replacements. And while they’ve never had more than a cult following here, the band has experienced a bit of a revival in the U.K., thanks in part to Pete Doherty’s oft-repeated admiration for troubled Only Ones frontman Peter Perret. Three of the group’s best tracks are below, but anyone looking for a proper primer should pick up the import-only best-of “Why Don’t You Kill Yourself?”: The CBS Recordings
