Like many lost children of the 90s, we owe our love of alternative culture to this killer trio. Brian Molko is a star and this record (like all Placebo records) is a perfect dose of rock ‘n’ roll brilliance.

An inspired move was to film it on the former ranch of Charles Manson in California, the clowns in the film serving as a metaphor for ‘racial or cultural crimes in history’.
