Posted March 25, 200619 yr The expolsion of punk brought a whole load of bands into the spotlight, some good some crap, but which ones did you like? This list is not exhaustive, feel free to add ones I've missed or long forgotten :D Sex Pistols Stranglers Clash Damned Jam Buzzcocks Generation X Siouxsie & Banshhes I liked most of them tbh
March 25, 200619 yr Pistols Buzzcocks The clash The Damned The Ramones The stranglers i haven't got enough material of other artists to really comment on them.
March 26, 200619 yr The Clash were my favourite Punk band but I preferred the New Wave Power Pop of Elvis Costello, Squeeze & XTC.
March 28, 200619 yr Stranglers Class act. were the stranglers a punk band? i cant answer that with memory as i wasnt around when they were big, however in those history books about different bands i think they always say that they were more like binmen than proper punks :blink:
March 28, 200619 yr generation x the dammed were good when they supported T.rex back in 1977 i thought generation x refered to the early 90s generation, the grunge kids etc? wouldnt punks be something like generation s?
March 28, 200619 yr i thought generation x refered to the early 90s generation, the grunge kids etc? wouldnt punks be something like generation s? Nah Tiger, Generation X were a post-punk band of the late-70s, and a pretty piss-poor one at that. Generation X gave the world the ridiculous poltroon that is Billy Idol - reason enough to despise them..... :lol: :lol: The Grunge Generation just appropriated the term, or rather the music journos of the Grunge Generation appropriated the term.....
April 5, 200619 yr 'Punk' Pistols, Clash, Buzzcocks, the Damned, Sham 69. 'New wave' Elvis costello, Graham Parker, Blondie, Ian Dury, The Jam, The stranglers
