Punk Rock anyone ?

[Shush]

Anyone else like a bit of the old Punk Rock.

Prefer the late 70s classics myself. Like

Sex Pistols
Generation-X
Damned
X-ray SpeX
Ruts
Skidz
Members

Etc.

And, some 80s classics

Exploited
GBH
Partisans. 

You ??

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...

[Shush]

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.

[Master Ray]

A 'Duke' box?  Does is have a popular early 80's Genesis album on repeat play?

    

Sounds like a pretty good JUKEbox...  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... 

[Shush]

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. 

[Heno]

[Shush]

[Heno]

getting  close but we forgot

UK Subs
Filaments

[Master Ray]

Do you count Black Flag as punk?  If so, yay, brilliant band.

[Darkness]

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...
Loads of bands doing interesting things still - AUTISTIC YOUTH, THE ESTRANGED... and a whole heap of crusty/post punk bands in America.

[Johnz]

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.

[lostockboy]

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

Husker Du's 'New Day Rising' is one of my all time favourite songs.

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
