raro Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Very intersting essay about punk! After having read your posts I also finally agree that The Clash were a punk band, although I always denied it because of their musical diversity. I saw them rather as a rock band filed under "punk" because they were there at the time punk was hip. One more question regarding what you said earlier about punk, especially its attitude towards establishment...was Frank Zappa after all a punk? Curious! raro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious! raro <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Zappa could be considered punk. He challenged the system, and the political and musical establishment. The same can be said for Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, Lou Reed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sporting Dog Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Bodies and Holidays in the Sun still sounds pretty good!!! There's a great "classic albums" show about the making of 'Never Mind the <deleted>' - as the producer says (Chris? Spedding - some reckon he played most of that record) Steve Jones' guitar sounds like a panzer division....and Rotten says the real difference with their music is they DIDN'T play fast. Great doco...can find it on Edonkey or torrent sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Stiff Little Fingers: Alternative Ulster, Johnny WasX-Ray Spex: I Can't Do Anything The Buzzcocks: Orgasm Addict The Avengers: White Nigger The Only Ones: Another Girl, Another Planet The Undertones: Get Over You X: The World's a Mess, It's in my Kiss Good stuff. I'd say Stiff little fingers - Suspect Device X-ray specs - Oh bodage up yours. Undertones - teenage kicks. Adverts - gary Gilmore's eyes. Ramones - Blitzrieg bop. The Damned - Neat neaat neat The Jam - in the city Patti Smith(yes) - Gloria Buzzcocks -boredom Sham 69 - borstal breakout Dead Kennedys - california uber alles The members - sound of the suburbs Public Image - public image The ruts - in a rut The Avengers - car crash The stranglers - get a grip Black flag - nervous breakdown 999 - emergency Angelic Upstarts - clockwork orange man that brought back some great memories!

TheFiend Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Punk rock will never die...... end of story Look at bands like Metallica and Foo Fighters. They proudly admit that some of their inspiration comes from Punk. Metallica even cover 2 punk songs when they play live ... So What (Anti Nowhere League) and Last Caress (Misfits) if i remember rightly. Original Punks, Like the Damned, SLF, and quite a few others still tour.... I have seen the Damned more in the last 10 years, than I did in the late 70s/early 80s. I am lucky that I was young in the heyday of Punk and got to see a lot of the original punk bands, was even lucky enough to see Screaming Lord Sutch singing with The Damned at the Christmas on Earth punk festivals in Leeds. 30 years down the line PUNK STILL LIVES!!!!

jonik Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Ok if blondie,the clash,greenday,bad religion,the smiths and so on is supposed to be punk then it's ok , but othervise punk is just bad vocal and cra##y guitarsounds produced in a sh#tty studio. I'd have to go with better productions like Opeth,Submersed,sepultura and so on. It sort of sound better........... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aughie Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) The local highschool has a license to broadcast over the airwaves. Their range is limited but occaisionaly I can pick them up and I catch some punk that I've never heard before so I am assuming it is new stuff. As for oldies but goodies not yet mentioned: Dead Boys, Stiff Little Fingers and San Francisco based Sluglords. Blondie was definitely punk but when Mike Chapman took them into the studio and produced Parallel Lines I think it started the New Wave movement.
