The Punk Rock Thread

[martha]

When the Jam were popular, they were closely linked with early Who, perhaps even by Paul Weller himself. Maybe even Pete linked them. I can't remember.

for all i know, it came from that magazine with the big paul weller article you sent me a while back. that was cool.


i like the jam. kinda hard to hate on anyone who covers "in the midnight hour," in general. i remember being very disappointed that the bad religion song titled "only entertainment" was not a cover of "that's entertainment." i don't know why i thought it would have been, maybe i fucked up the song titles or something.

ugh, idiot who put this on youtube spelled it wrong...
YouTube - The Jam - Eaton Rifles - 1979

and i think some of weller's solo stuff is badass, as well.
YouTube - BBC4 Sessions Paul Weller - Wild Wood


yeah, i went there (with some video links).

I am not a big punk fan, I'm sure most of you know this by now. But I really enjoyed The Undertones self-titled. Had a great, GREAT time with that album this afternoon.

I just got this as well and greatly enjoyed it.

 

[bono_212]

It's pretty fun/loose, and isn't the loud over-the-top punk I'm not super fond of.

 

[If you shout...]

"Louie, Louie" for the '80s kids. Amazing, ugly, violent band.

YouTube - ‪Flipper - Sex Bomb‬‏

Flipper doesn't really strike me as an Interference favorite, but I hope I'm wrong/what the fuck do I know? Any other fans?

 

[mtnfox]

Love Flipper!

 

[If you shout...]

Hell yeah.

 

[Reggo]

Flipper, ftw.

Sorry for posting a YouTube.

Is Avail a band I should be getting into?

 

[IWasBored]

Is Avail a band I should be getting into?

Yes.



"tuning" and "west wye" are probably my favorite songs of theirs.

 

[Reggo]

Yes.

Cool. I'll add Dixie to my list of albums to buy.

EDIT:

I totally posted something in the wrong section.

Uh, anyways, Bouncing Souls are still better than most everything else that's ever been posted in this thread.

and that is why i listened to anchors aweigh the other day, and none of the other bands in here. or something.

 

[Reggo]

Only because IWB and/or Traviud might find this interesting:

Punk Island Album Pool

This is a partial list of the albums I'm working from for DI IX. Pay no attention to the subgenres. I'm 90% sure Wikipedia is lying on nearly all of them.

 

[IWasBored]

cool.

the sub-genres actually kind of cracked me up. i clicked the band column several times trying to make it alphabetize them for me to no avail. why can't everything be itunes?

i forgot about pinhead gunpowder. it was really funny for about 30 seconds when i got them mixed up with pinback once. although i think you had to have been there. mofo might have been there. i can't remember. it was a long time ago.

 

[Reggo]

Fixed, just for you, iDub.

 

[IWasBored]

some damn good albums to work with on that list.

 

[Reggo]

some damn good albums to work with on that list.

yeah, I'm excited to get cracking.

 

[IWasBored]

i was thinking that for the next normal-sized DI i'll have to make a list that isn't out to prove that i listen to more than one kind of music. or a list that doesn't end up getting thrown together at the last minute over the course of an hour on or close-ish to the day phanan suggests he wants them. i somewhat hate my list already, and you guys haven't even seen it yet. and really, what would be the fun in that?

 

[Reggo]

some damn good albums to work with on that list.

I finalized the list, if you're curious.

I was thinking about bumping this thread a few weeks ago when I was on a big (mostly old-school) punk kick.

I'm not really riding that wave any longer, so I don't have much to add. The Buzzcocks ruled.

And I still think that that debut album by the Donnas that was ghostwritten by some dude who was weirdly talented at writing Ramones rip-off tunes from a girl's perspective is...one of the most brilliant things I've heard all year.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh, and the debut albums by both Dead Kennedys and Bad Brains kicked ass. Two classics of the genre, for sure, but I'd never heard them in full before a few weeks ago. Good shit.

Absolutely adore these guys and this album in particular.

Marry me, GAFfer.

I was meant to see this gig last night, if I hadn't been laid low with a stomach bug. The gig would have been worth it totally to see Glen Matlock's luxurious head of hair.

(Typing "International Swingers" into Youtube sure brings up some interesting videos
