Punk ? Just a great rock band

Re: Punk ? Just a great rock band

Londons burning is clearly a rock band in action , hard riffing

The Jam were a rock band once they hit their stride , burning sky off setting sons is immense

Same with who , early days they were dancing around , then they cranked it up to 11

The Clash's first album is punk rock, on London Calling, their third album, they decided to cover other genres.

A fusion of punk, rockabilly, reggae, ska, R&B and pop.

Jah War

Classics in my eyes

Re: Punk ? Just a great rock band

moving on post punk the last remaining genre of music that keeps me interested the thrashing guitars of the indie music scene and the guvnors of that scene a tune from the wedding present . indie music gold :music:

The Ruts..now there's a band..
my mate threw a half full can of Stella at Owen..caught him right between the eyes on his forehead...watch the Top of the Pops vid of Babylon's Burning...you can see the fresh scar clearly..bloody good shot sir..

What on earth possessed your mate to chuck a half full can of Stella and the finest punk vocalist of them all? An act of great cowardice I must say. I bet you, he wouldn't have the bottle or bollocks to have a go at Malcolm Owen face to face, the gutless little shit!

Some people have said that the New York Dolls were the first punk band but you could go back as far as Syd Barrett and early Who/Stooges.

I'd suggest the Velvet Underground may hold the mantle of first punks In my humble view , when you match thier music versus that of the age .

Yes, the Velvets are one of my favourite bands and would probably be called proto-punk if you want to put labels on things.

Killing Joke were often called proto metal for their influence on the industrial heavy scene for bands like ministry , prong , fear factory

Loaded is an astonishing album when you consider its release date of 1970 , previous to that they release White light / White Heat in 68 and were playing whatever you want to call it from 1965 , if you look at the charts at that time you quickly realise how progressive , avant-garde , punk attituded , they were ..

Primitive , early , originators of industrial metal later taken up by godflesh , ministry , prong , fear factory and similar bands
