Punk/New Wave albums you still listen to? For old farts only I guess..

Yes mate, a community who looked after each other. Sadly largely lacking in modern times..

Pretty sure I got fed by them at Stonehenge. Pissing down with rain with no food. Still, arrived in style on the back of a Willys Jeep after meeting this crazy South African hippy at a service station…

Who needs PJ Harvey when you’ve got Patti Smith?

Well I’ll happily listen to both. Love the England Shakes album and just rediscovered to bring you my love.

I didn’t particularly like the Jeffrey Lewis thing

I hadn’t listened to Crass in many a year and I got intrigued by the reviews. I love it. I like the way he’s given the songs tunes and melodies. But what was stand out for me was the lyrics. Oh yeah. And I liked his updating and not having to swear every other word. Made me go buy the re-issues on cd. And a steve ignorant tee… 😳

you lot need to read this…an amateurish but very enthusiastic overview.

from damned damned damned – possibly the first ever released punk single

My i pod churned out some 999, Ruts, Damned, GBH, Ramones, Clash, Husker Du, Radio Birdman, The Saints, Stranglers, The Adverts, The Only Ones to name a few.

Crass lived up the road from me. Flux of Pink Indians ‘Tube Disasters’ ‘photos were taken in and around the old central line between Ongar and Epping, as far as I recall.

New Rose. The first British punk single? Damned, Damned, Damned was their first album wasn’t it?

Umpteen Ramones albums rotate in the car, as do stuff by Devo, SLF, Clash, Pete and the Test tube babies etc.
The main issue with much of my collection is that 12″ stuff won’t travel very well and lots of it never made CD. Just found a Rezillos double album but try looking for the Revilos. Can’t get Crossing the red sea with the Adverts or anything by Slaughter and the Dogs or Erazerhead.
Funnly enough my music tastes haven’t really moved on since the 70’s except for a liking for 80’s surf punk such as the Surfin lungs and even their early stuff hasn’t made CD.,

She doesn’t get much better than that!

You need to go past Mikes bit to the song. But this kinda sums it all up for me.

Crass lived up the road from me.

most of them still live in and around that area of the commune (can’t recall it’s name). was it Dial House or something

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+1 fugazi & minutemen
Anyone remember Nomeansno? What a band!

…and one final thing; I have probably mentioned elsewhere before, but my very best childhood friend is Gang Of Fours’ current bass player! Has been for the past 5 years. Know the band personally now (though the 2 main men are about 2 decades older than my best mate.) He has a mountain bike, too. But it’s an Apollo.

TOP THAT! 8)

Dial House? A mate just went to one of their permaculture things a month back

Sneaky edit ya nana!

TOP THAT!

I can’t top it – but the guitarist in one of my best mate’s bands (Pubic Fringe) is also the current guitar player for the Fall. He’s number 187 or something…

Fair play, sx-xc! 😀

Sorry Metalheart, it just came to me, but I wasn’t at all sure. 😳

Anything by the following is played in the car on a daily basis:
southern death cult
UK decay
Sexgang children
siouxsie and the Banshees
altered states
The neph
Early adam ant
Killing joke
Poison idea
danse society
Bauhaus
NMA
The Glove
Subhumans/citizenfish/culture shock
operation Ivy
fugazi
Damned
V early fuzzbox
Virgin prunes

I still listen to most of the stuff I was listening to when I was ‘younger’.
Crass, Conflict, Subhumans, Flux Of Pink Indians, etc.
loads of US hardcore stuff too, Dead Kennedys, Misfits, Nomeansno.

It all relevant to me now, even if I don’t do too much smashing the system any more :-/

GET THIS DOWN YER NECK

Teenage Kicks – John Peel’s favourite single of all time!! Had the original 7″ at one stage. **** me I’m old but it’s cool!

So, tazzymtb what UK Decay? Spon, Abbo I loved that band..

Rusty Spanner – a mate of mine was so into Gong when we were teenagers that he took a LOAD of mushrooms and painted his bedroom walls with hills, clouds, pixies and a great big f-off flying teapot.

happy days

UK decay- for madmen only and a night for celebration

still listen to all the old stuff from my youth

PIL – Public Image still tingles the spine with JR’s rage

White Riot – best sing along song ever

Walking on the beaches – makes me smile, a lot

Damaged Goods – I can still hear it blasting out at the (original) factory before SLF came on and the boot boys started !

Orgasm addict

Roche Rumble

blimey, I can feel a Genious mix coming on 🙂

my all time favorite….

Cranked up really high – slaughter and the dogs, a good old Wythenshawe band 🙂

Have you watched the documentary about Crass/Dial House?, it’s in several parts on youtube. Interesting watch if you were into Crass.

Can’t believe some of that stuff is 30-35 years old now. Stop Making Sense on the turntable now, 19-freakin-84. Public Image fresh as a daisy. Siouxsie and the Banshees, marvellous. Never tire of the Buzzcocks, burble, burble. Live at the Electric Circus. I had a tweet off of John Shuttleworth the other day 🙂

Jilted John was recorded 3 doors down our street, but thats not really owt to brag about 🙂

The currently available UK Decay CD has ‘For Madmen only’ plus singles/EPs including the incredible ‘Rising from the dead’ and ‘Unwind’. Definitely worth looking into. Sadly no Dresden ‘though.

What about Furyo and In Excelsis? Now that’s getting obscure..!

Cheetham Hill library gigs were always a winner – no alcohol licence but always an ‘interesting’ brew on offer.
Trying to walk back to Moston with your brains leaking out of your ears was always a challenge 😀

Shame I’m far too responsible these days….

Kabuki- I am a horse
Ausgang
Rozz williams era christian death

Early adam ant

There’s no shame in admitting you like Kings of the Wild Frontier, Tazzy (well, not anymore) 😀

Take That were better off without him, Tazzy.

I just love this song. Played it a lot over the last 30 years 😳

Nice rant, some people on here could take some lessons from Mark P I reckon…

Stevem – oh yeah: Rowche Rumble my fave Fall song.

BANana – nah, guess I’ll have to do a youtoob search…

What about some Bad Brains, TSOL, Big Black, Minor Threat, Rites of Spring and F*cked Up

Ausgang? Did you like the Inca Babies aswell?

inca babies are sitting in vinyl collection as are bone orchard

EDIT: bog off you bullies the burundi drumming was ace…I liked Bow wow wow for the same reason 😆
