Off the Wall was the record that earned Michael Jackson his first Grammy Award in 1980. It was later inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2008.
According to Sub Pop, "Contrary to what English-speaking people tend to think, Les Thugs’ name doesn’t refer to hooligans. The name refers to the worshippers of Kali, goddess of death, violence, vengeance, and the annihilation of creation. The Thugs originated in India in the 12th Century. They practice ritual murder by strangulation with a silk scarf (to avoid blood). Apparently, some of them are still living in Angers, France." (SP424)
