Going Deaf for a Living
Going Deaf for a Living is a 1980 album by Fischer-Z. This was the second album by Fischer-Z featuring the "classic line-up". The guitar on this album was made more prominent, after their rather keyboard prominent debut. This album, as well the following Red Skies Over Paradise, are considered by fans as the best work to be produced by Fischer-Z. The album featured the singles "Room Service", "Crazy Girl", "Limbo" and the most popular "So Long", which hit #72 in the UK singles chart, #15 in Australia[2] and #26 in the Netherlands.

gollark: They might be measured a bit differently, or be outdated in some cases, but if someone presents a genuinely more accurate measurement of a constant or something it'll probably be accepted.

gollark: In those cases people will at least probably agree if you present a good case that your model/argument fits the data better, or something.
gollark: The most you get with that here, generally, is Spirit pointing out that everything you said was completely wrong, but with political stuff people disagree on a lot of things in ways which are hard to reconcile.
