Pink Flag is the first album by the band Wire, released in 1977. A seminal and influential release, it is notable for its thrashy, short songs, some less than a minute long. Although released to huge critical acclaim, it was not a big seller. It was ranked as number 410 on the list of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
