Summing up their contribution to popular music, critic Dave Thompson later wrote: 'From bad-mannered yobs to purveyors of supreme pop delicacies, the group was responsible for music that may have been ugly and might have been crude вЂ“ but it was never, ever boring.' Over time, their output gradually grew more refined and sophisticated. Their early music was also characterised by the growling vocals and sometimes misanthropic lyrics of both Burnel and Hugh Cornwell. The Stranglers' early sound was driven by Jean-Jacques Burnel's melodic bass, but also gave prominence to Dave Greenfield's keyboards.
