More importantly, what happened to Bow Wow Wow?
Probably Tory MPs these days.0 -
Was it the Raincoats?AddicksAddict said:
I didn't know that had been released as a single, only having bought the album, otherwise I'd have had that in my list. There was another mainly/all female band around the same time who were of a similar quality as Delta 5 and I can't for the life of me remember their name - it wasn't The Slits, that I do know.kafka said:..and not one of you has mentioned the ultimate punk icon, Plastic Bertrand.
to those already mentioned would add;
Mind your own business - Delta 5
Promises - Buzzcocks
Wash it all off - You've got foetus on your breath
My cherry is in sherry - Ludus
Sonic Reducer - The Dead Boys1 -
The Clash - Complete Control
Pistols - Anarchy
Subway Sect - Ambition
Patrik Fitzgerald - Safety Pin Stuck in my Heart
Penetration - Don't Dictate
X-Ray Spex - Oh Bondage, Up Yours
Buzzcocks - What Do I Get?
Elvis Costello - Pump It Up
ATV - Action Time Vision
Undertones - Teenage Kicks
Mo-Dettes - White Mice
Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack
I'd better stop there...!2 -

Love old JCC. First saw him supporting Richard Hell and Elvis Costello in 1978 and a few times since, living legend.sillav nitram said:

They’ve released 17 studio albums. Their last was almost as good as their first two. Mind Hive. Brilliant album.Vincenzo said:

Blank generation is a cracking song. Was that at the week-long Dominion Theatre gigs? They gave out badges saying ‘Tuesday’ or whatever day you went.Big William said:

Thanks mate.TellyTubby said:
I was introduced to him by the lady that he is living with now, my understanding is that they go back a long way but got back together in more recent years. So not as far as I'm aware Chippy and not an item.Chippycafc said:
One of our secretaries is called Lucy Loo, just mentioned it to my engineer about playing it, next time she walks into the office.TellyTubby said:I wasn't into punk, but some of the music has grown on me.
Friggin in the rigging-I heard that for the first time driving up from the Man of Kent to see Charlton play at Rotherham in a Mk3 2L Cortina. Top motor.
Gary Gilmores eyes- because I have sort of got to know TV Smith in recent years.
A punk band local to me here in North Devon had this very quickly banned, so very few records exist of it, I can't think why. The bulk of the band members are still going under a different name playing very different stuff, but the crowd always demand this gets played. You really must hear it.

Telly...is TV Smith still married to Gaye Black (known as Gaye Advert)0 -
Yup, went on the Friday night - tickets were four quid I seem to remember!SouthallAddick said:

He was on “Would I lie to you” last night btw.This was probably a month or so before “This Years Model” was released, up there with Rattus Novegicus as my all time favourite album. Elvis’s latest stunt is to rerelease it with a load of Spanish vocalists dubbed on it. Call me a luddite, but that’s just bloody sacrilege.0 -
Happy days…the original vinyl LP had a guide on the inner sleeve to the chords of Smash it up, penned by Mr Godawful Ugly, the famous pig rustler. As John Peel used to say, probably an assumed name.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Arsenetatters said:Loving this thread. It’s got me listening to various old favourites.

Such a great track - blasted it out today.Captain Sensible once described the Damned’s manifesto as “Music for Idiots”, can’t not love that.1 -
Saw Hell & Voidoids at Music Machine in maybe 78 or 79, the gig where John Rotten came and the end and got the crowd to make more noise to get them back for an encore. No badges though.Big William said:

I can't believe I wrote "there" instead of "their". Oh, the shame!AddicksAddict said:
Surely a lot of the women on here would have played this in there youth and now they'd be saying "I won't be playing this when my little angel is around".Chippycafc said:Stranglers - No more heroes.
The Jags - written on the back of my hand (not sure if thats punk but was around that time).
Most Buzzcocks songs,
Eddie and the hot rods - Do anything you wanna do,
Sham 69 - Ulster boy.
Most Undertones songs.
Tom Robinson Band - Sing if your glad to be gay/Martin.
Ian Dury - Sex and drugs and rock and roll/Plaistow Patricia (dont play this song if your mum is around)
The Rezillo's - Motorbike beat.
X Ray Spex - World turned dayglo.
Dr Feelgood - Milk and alcohol.
The Ramones - Rockaway beach.0 -

hurry up harry, hersham boys
smash it up, a new rose
pretty vacant
holidays in cambodia
sheena is a punk rocker

another girl another planet
bankrobber, white riot
sound of the suburbs
two pints of lager
tattoo
babylons burning
cold concrete
germfree adolescents
swords of 1000 men
somebody's gonna get their head kicked in tonight

Thanks for putting up your list, @Vincenzo, I'd been trying to think of Patrick Fitzgerald's name since I put my list up. He was the other possibility to be the king of punk poetry alongside John Cooper Clarke, not that either of them would have made the claim themselves, of course.Vincenzo said:The Clash - Complete Control
Pistols - Anarchy
Subway Sect - Ambition
Patrik Fitzgerald - Safety Pin Stuck in my Heart

ATV - Action Time Vision
Undertones - Teenage Kicks
Mo-Dettes - White Mice
Rezillos - Flying Saucer Attack
I'd better stop there...!
Saw the Mo-Dettes in the arse end of nowhere somewhere south of Sydenham, they were quite talented as I recall.1 -
I saw Dave Vanian in the audience at a Dead Kennedys gig. Not wanting to seem like a fan boy, I didn't ask for his autograph. It seemed more 'punk' to ask if he wanted mine.hoof_it_up_to_benty said:Arsenetatters said:Loving this thread. It’s got me listening to various old favourites.

My pleasure. Saw Patrik at Woolwich Poly (supporting Buzzcocks along with Penetration AND The Slits IIRC).Hi AddicksAddict said:

Correct. What a gig that was. The Buzzcocks were so good we went and saw them again 6 days later at the Lyceum. Still hear in my head Shelly coming on stage and saying "Hello Wol wich" ha ha.Vincenzo said:
