Considering that their popularity was relatively short-lived, their use of not-of-this-time-appearing costumes, and the annoying frequency with which they sing about themselves or their Ant nation, that is understandable. But this is still interesting music. Most, maybe all, of these songs are just too strange to sound dated. The double drummer set up, tribal chanting vocals, and spaghetti western guitar riffs all make for something that is as original as it is pop. My favorite song is &#8220;Killer in the Home&#8221;, about the plight of Native Americans. I blame Jeff Arthur for getting me into this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kings_of_the_Wild_Frontier\">More info<\/a> about Adam and the Ants&#8217; <em>Kings of the Wild Frontier<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/imheavyduty.heavydutyincorporated.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/adamandtheantskings.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-527\" title=\"Adam and the Ants -- Kings of the Wild Frontier\" src=\"http:\/\/imheavyduty.heavydutyincorporated.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/adamandtheantskings.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"1000\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Adam and the Ants Title: Kings of the Wild Frontier Year: 1980 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
