[Music] Punk Rock

[studio150]

Also this from the Ramones purely for the line, 'beat on the brat with a baseball bat' simple but to the point, and he energy from the two and a half minutes

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Ca Plain Pour Moi - Plastic Bertrand
Heroes - Stranglers
Pretty Vacant - Sex Pistols
Automatic Lover - Vibrators
Ever Fallen In Love - Buzzcocks

Never really sure on categorisation eg. Punk to New Wave - several Stiff artists including Costello/Dury/Wreckless Eric et al

This one got to number one in 1977, and showed even Spanish lovelies were catching the punk rock bug

Got me Voshy. Even now I dream about those two sultry Spanish bints.

Punk and Reggae went hand in hand during that period with gigs containing acts from each. I went to see Dillinger in the mid 70's at the Top Rank Suite at the bottom of West Street.

You sure it wasn't the New Regent, also at the bottom of West St? Unless my memory's tricking me, that's where I saw Dillinger (in 1978, I think). The New Regent was a great venue, much smaller than the Top Rank but a nice, intimate vibe. I saw a few reggae acts there.

The Top Rank did have some reggae headliners - I saw Dennis Brown, Gregory Isaacs and Mikey Smith (just a few months before he was murdered) but there was a better atmosphere in the New Regent.

No it's not, on so many counts, although to be fair, it was one of his better records. To put the Brotherhood of Man on a punk music thread, though - or any sort of music thread for that matter - is just plain perverse.

On the other hand, this is the proper stuff .............

I'm being trolled by this ****. No worries, He's making no in-roads. Probably one of Bushy's fan club. Wierdo

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

There’s joking and then there’s trolling.

Not sure what I've done to upset this person. Oh well

Loved punk music then still think it's worth a listern now it was a shot in the arm that the music industry needed and the Pistols were the best although I was never lucky enough to see them Live but not many actually did, my current faverate although they keep protesting they are not Punk is the Idles

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This one was released late in the early days. The last verse, sung in high voice, and the ending.....sublime.

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

Perhaps a tad later, but seem to take it all to another level for me hitting my teens.

Perhaps the greatest ever British punk band. U.K. SUBS, this year is the 40th Anniversary of Brand New Age, following on from the 'Another Kind of Blues' 40th Anniversary tour (Hope and Ruin gig was one of the best ever) they kick of the tour in Guildford Easter Bank holiday and end it Southampton around the May Bank Holiday, I hope to make both. Warhead perhaps one of the best live tracks ever, cannot wait.

It was never a good TOTP when the best thing to have a tug to on the show was Brotherhood of Man.

ABBA roulette was a challenge, ensuring that Agnetha was on screen when you reached the vinegar strokes instead of a grinning Benny or Bjorn, both of which caused more self loathing and wangst than normal.

More working class philosophy from Sir Thomas of Mensforth.

That's totally unfair. The one on the right is absolutely gorgeous, But then i've always loved a nice moustache and sideburns combo.

I was too young for punk, but my parents music spanned Costello, blondie, blockheads, xtc and reggae, my first music was madness and 2-tone, have subsequently acquired virtually all the records quoted here, although always considered myself more of a new wave Fan than punk. Loads of great one hit wonders. We just don't get much music like that any more. Everyone's trying too hard to be cool or different, and there's not enough genuine anger/ suffering , although I suspect that's all about to,change. Punk/reggae are due a rebirth

 

[Tom Bombadil]

It appears i may have veered slightly away from the core punk aesthetic the op was looking for for this thread so here's one form the unrivalled queen of punk released at the height of the punk phenomenom, 1981 .
Bonus in this video , apart form the great mad max aesthetic is that around the 2.15 mark someone unloads their balls on Toyah form a great height
