Kaiser Chiefs

It may have taken a few more years than they thought but by god they were bang on.

Truly modern day prophets.

 

The Smiths had it nailed way before the Kaiser Chiefs. Panic on the streets of London, Shoplifters of the World Unite? Way ahead of the game!!

 

The Clash almost got it right even earlier though with White Riot.

 

Pah. Cliff Richard beat the lot of them when he predicted these riots in his subversive 60s single 'Summer Holiday'.

 

You are forgetting George Formby's "When I'm smashing windows".

 

Please, Verdis Rigoletto dealt with such social issues ages before anyone else, let alone his contemporaries.

 

And London's Burning.

 

where as the Ruts with Babylons Burning where well off the mark !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
