Punk Rock anyone ?

[Johnz]

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...

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.

[Master Ray]

Darkness, I think you're right...

Motorhead / UK Subs / The Anti Nowhere league... that's a pretty good line-up, eh?

[Knievel]

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.

[Heno]

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.

[Master Ray]

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....
