It's funny... I have absolutely no memory of punk rock, despite the fact that I was about 7 years old at the time and listening to music a lot... but the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal a year or two later? Remember that stuff clearly...!
In retrospect, I love much of that punk stuff. Gotta be honest (and, Shush, you might not like me very much for saying it :-[ ) but I like The Clash and The Damned better than The Pistols.
To be honest, the New Wave or Ska scenes, a couple of years later, are a bit more to my taste... Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, Blondie and the like...
-
I don't mind which you like kid. I am used to people not liking the stuff I like. Also, now we have a decent Duke box in my local, I am used to people saying "who the **** is this" when I stick on Green/grey, Space, and a couple more on the small NMA list.
-
A 'Duke' box? Does is have a popular early 80's Genesis album on repeat play?
:D ;)
Sounds like a pretty good JUKEbox... ;D and I would never put down anyone for their taste... I'm a huge Marillion fan and that makes my Genesis reference look a bit sad in retrospect!!!!
Your local... that Foremans..? And, if so, that gonna show up on your Nottingham December pub crawl..? Hope so!
Hope you're well, sir and you're walking a bit better than when I saw you last...
-
Are you giving me spelling lessons again, ya cheeky git !!!
No mate, I live about 7 miles out from the City. Foremans is an every now and again pub.
I can already tell you my plans for 13th Dec.
Tap N Tumbler, 5ish, then Rockerz, then Spankys for a dose of LCG, where some of the fine punk artists on my list will get a good airing. No time for owt else that night, and that's all you need. -- its the people you are with that make the night, not the places. ;)
Tap N Tumbler is always the pre-Rock City Pub, was last year, and the year before. :D

UK Subs
Filaments
bad religion
feederz - frank discussion was some boy in his day

Do you count Black Flag as punk? If so, yay, brilliant band.
-
Over 33 years of listening to punk. Too many bands to list them all, but...
UK SUBS
BLACK FLAG
HUSKER DU
DISCHARGE
CRASS
FLUX OF PINK INDIANS
ANTISECT
My era is the early 80's anarcho punk scene, loved it. Those bands still send a tingle up my spine when I listen to them.
Still going strong today and I don't mean Rebellion... :D
Loads of bands doing interesting things still - AUTISTIC YOUTH, THE ESTRANGED... and a whole heap of crusty/post punk bands in America.
-
I never really got into classic 70's Brit punk in a big way although I do like some of it.
And I do love bands like Black Flag and Husker Du but do they count as punk?
Husker Du's 'New Day Rising' is one of my all time favourite songs.
-
My all time best band ever ever in the world are Husker Du who I regrettably didn't get the chance to see live but other punk bands I like and have managed to see live are The Damned, Stiff little Fingers and Bad Religion. A big shout goes out to The Skids who are responsible for the beginning of my musical direction, fookin still luv them

My all time fave record is New Day Rising. Husker Du were classed as hard core punk at one time but then mellowed out but the tag always tends to stick with a band when they've been pigeon holed

Yes, I thought they were classed as hardcore. Either way, they were a great band and I really liked there progression from hardcore towards the more melodic stuff . Never managed to see them sadly.
-
Never got that much into Husker Du, although I liked what I heard, but I was a big fan of his follow=up band, Sugar... here's A GOOD IDEA...

-
Not really into husker du thought candy apple grey ( is that right lol) was decent
Love Sugar beaster n copper blue and some of Bob Moulds solo stuff
-
Late 70s early 80s my favourite era in music SLF, The Clash, Sex Pistols, Angelic Upstarts, The Ruts, Dead Kennedys, The Neurotics. As anybody heard Dirt Box Disco a current punk band who are quite good.
-
I saw The Anti-Nowhere League supporting Motorhead in Wolverhampton three or four years ago... thought they were really good! Must check them out again one day...
I don't suppose, by any chance, anyone remembers who the other band was on the bill? It's driving me mad! Motorhead were obviously the headliners, ANL were on first but the band in the middle..? :-\
Something tells me it might have been Sham 69, but I can't say for sure...
Long shot, I know, but just in case...?
;)
-
I still have the Anti-Nowhere League's "Live in Yugoslavia" LP/Record/Vinyl (or whatever you call it...my age you see) in my collection!!!!
Exploited still with me too. In fact, i thought i heard i guitar riff from one my favorite Exploited tracks; in the most recent charts. Please someone listen to "Was It Me" by the Exploited and try to put that background guitar riff with a song that i have also heard on the radio this year.
It's really annoying me because as soon i heard it, i thought of the Exploited song.

I have a sneaky feeling it was THE UK SUBS.
-
Darkness, I think you're right...
Motorhead / UK Subs / The Anti Nowhere league... that's a pretty good line-up, eh?
-
Hehehe...can I tell yous I was a wimpy metal kid. We used to get ganged up by the harder mods and we'd run like **** till we found a group of punks and say ' Help they're after us again' then the punks would say 'Right where are they' and the mods would flee soon as they saw the punks - in truth it was an age thing I guess -
Of the music I loved the music of the Specials and Madness from the mod scene but couldn't admit it then - I loved the Clash but it was Combat Rock by that time and the punks ridiculed me for it - but I couldn't get into Anti Nowhere League (how could a punk band have a name that was so hard to spell) GBH or UK Subs etc till years later (about three years but a long time then) when stuff like Zounds and Subhumans and New Model Army came my way and introduced me to the more abrasive sound of rock.
Punks looked after me so I liked punks more than punk. Funny that I was air guitaring to Diamond Heads Am I Evil when I was anything but :)
-
I like the following but to be honest the last three I've not listened to for years.
Dead Kennedy's
The Clash
The Ruts
Cockney Rejects
The Business - Oi band form London
Chron Gen - don't think anyone has mentioned them yet although I've not heard any of their stuff for years.
-
how about a bit of special duties

I still listen to the Buzzcocks, UK Subs, and X all the time.
Some of my other favorites like the Dead Kennedy's(saw 'em in London 1980), SLF, Pistols, and a few others make it to the cd player every once in a while. Sometimes you need some punk at a high volume to calm your nerves a bit.
-
Has anyone mentioned Rancid yet?
Good band, here's their most well known tune, 'Ruby Soho', yeah it sounds just like The Clash, but it's a good tune...

Since I felt in love with all that punk spirit in my youth, I knew it was something that would stay in my soul forever. I can dig a Anti-Pasti, Chron Gen, XTC or UK Subs vinyl any time and listen to it after 5 years pause without forgetting details on songs. It's "there" instantly if you know what I mean. Besides that I actually started to listen punk and hardcore in the end of 80's/start of 90's after my metal era. But punk brought to me something I could recognize from my own youth. It was something nostalgic, thoughts about "what was it living in those days when *they* released this - oh wow this was the sound of the days then!" When I was only 7 years old. Other music didn't give that feeling.
The most I'm into is the authentic late 70's street sound of early UK punk and oi, some roots from rocksteady. On a contrary to common beliefs about poor virtuosity as musicians; some early 70's punk bands were actually quite good players (XTC and such alike)
Some really cool bands are:
Partisans
Skids
Anti-Pasti
Ruts
Channel Three
Membranes
Anhrefn
Rubella Ballet
Vice Squad
Teen Idols
State of Alert
Depraved
G.B.H
Disorder
Well later on I swamped myself with more to all those crust and grind bands too:
E.N.T.
Concrete Sox
Civilized Society?
Heresy
Misery
Ripcord
Chaos UK
Resist
Sarcasm
Hellkrusher
etc etc....

Yea, agree with that. Early straight edge bands; especially Teen Idles, Government Issue, State of Alert, Youth Brigade etc. and most of all Minor Threat ;). + Minutemen, Septic Death and 7 Seconds. They kick ass!
But about UK bands I really appreciate also One By One, Generic and Helath Hazard. You know the group of bands where Sned used to play with? (Well Pleasent Valley Children too..) He also played with Oi Polloi couple of times as a spare drummer at tours in mids of nineties.
