| Q. | Punk rock fans: what song got you into punk? | Related Search: Rock and Pop | | | for me it was "Alternative Ulster" by Stiff Little Fingers
| | A. | Disarm (Sweden), track titled, Dömd (an early 80's hardcore punk rock): [Link]
I was introduced to hardcore first back in the early 80's by friends and to this date thats what I listen to, of course I'll listen to other genres. I believe this exposure had a little downfall for me because I don't like bands like the ramones, sex pistols, and any of the current "Popular" crap; I don't consider theses bands punk rock as for the sex pistols they had a punk presence but I think their music was weak, and I don't like bubble gum teenage love/angst like the ramones (more weak than the pistols).
I do like Stiff Little Fingers alot... | | | |
| Q. | Round 2: Stiff Little fingers, 999, Heartbreakers, Rezillos, Buzzcocks, Dead Boys, X-Ray Spex, Who's the best? | Related Search: Blues | | | Another fine line up of much lesser known punk rockers equally deserving of respect are up for examination. Of this bunch for me it's a toss up between the Rezillos and Stiff Little Finges and the Heartbreakers, with the rest close behind. "(My Baby Does) Good Sculptures" would win over any true punk for the Rezillos, "Alternative Ulster" is a msterpiece for SLF, and as a top track for the Heartbreakers I'd go with "Born To Lose" or "I Wanna Be Loved". It makes my mouth Water. "Emergency" by 999 is also a must have for every collection.
Man, I'd love to see the Buzzcocks, do they come to America often?
And too bad you don't like SLF, they had some great stuff on their first two albums at least. "Alternative Ulster" and "Barbed Wire Love" are great fun. To each his/her own though :)
Oh and X-Ray Spex were good. My favorite track on Germfree Adolescents are the ones you said and the classic Oh Bondage Up Yours! and I Can't Do Anything.
| | A. | X-Ray Spex wins by far. Germfree Adolescents is one of the best Punk albums in history. Obsessed With You, The Day the World Turned Dayglo, I Am a Poseur are punk athems. 999 is a dime a dozen. Dead Boys would have to be my second choice. Then the Buzzcocks maybe. Im not a fan of Stiff Little Fingers at all though.
will there be a round 3? =P | | | |
