Did anyone else listen to radio Luxembourg in the punk era?

Punk had so much energy and lots of good stuff been mentioned. I'd like to add Identity and Oh Bondage Up Yours, as I'm a fan of the late Poly Styrene and X-Ray Spex

I was just too young for the first wave of punk but was well into the second wave (early eighties onwards).
Somebody mentioned SLF earlier - Hanx is one of the best live LP's ever released: Johnny Was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwu2r4HQ7gE The Subhumans were one of my favourite bands and they were local to me so i've seen them about a million times (approximately): Religious Wars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFDpvk_fEM&list=RDmFFDpvk_fEM#t=2 There are so many that its difficult to choose but Big A Little A by Crass used to get played a lot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIdcDL64KCE |

By:
I go to a lot of punk gigs in and around Bristol and they are generally fairly good natured with a lot of fat old geezers re-living there youth but when I saw the ANL in the Bierkeller a few years ago there was genuine animosity in the crowd!

I was thinking last night that it is very subjective as to what constitutes punk or new wave. Adam Ant classed himself as a punk artist, yet he has also been categorized as new wave and even a new romantic. Blondie were a punk outfit imo, yet Sunday Girl was one of the 70's top disco tracks. Another one was Ian Dury who also was a punk artist yet Rhythm Stick was also a top single on the disco charts.
|
|
By:
Yeah
I mean some even classed REM as punk rock! |
|
By:
Forgot to mention The Bad Brains - 'I' and 'Pay To Cm'
|
|
By:
Dagenham Dave - Stranglers
|
|
By:
another track from that era that I loved was -
Stiff Little Fingers - Johnny Was |
|
By:
Harmony in my Head - Buzzcocks (by a distance)
Outdoor Miner - Wire Babylon's Burning - Ruts (what a riff) No More Heroes - Strangers Hong Kong Garden - Siouxsie and the Banshees Do Anything You Wanna Do - Eddie and the Hot Rods (punk?) Tommy Gun - Clash |
|
By:
The first punk single - possibly??
"(I'm")Stranded" - The Saints |
|
By:
edit: replace Tommy Gun with Safe European Home.

Some other UK New Wave/Punk gems :
The Motors : 'Be What You Gotta Be' . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=At0BizU5-V4 The Adverts : 'Safety In Numbers" . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOlQWiBNbTI Here's a punky cover version of a famous 60s US 'protest' song The D!ck!es : 'Eve of Destruction' . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydqAbLLAlLc I never liked the UK Subs, but their song 'Down On The Farm' was covered quite superbly by Guns n' Roses. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aEeii9aR6o . |

Was talking to a bloke in the pub recently who insisted he had fronted a famous punk/new wave band during the 70/80s.
I didn't believe a word of it but he was adam ant. |

I'm sure one or two gentlemen of a certain age on this thread who will recall that one of the bands mentioned to date had a beautiful female bass player. What's maybe less well known is that this delightful individual appeared under a pseudonym in a few Top Shelf Gentlemen's Entertainment periodicals before her band became known nationally.
I never saw these worthy publications at the time (although I'd heard the rumours) but thanks to the wonders of the World Wide Web these magnificent, erm, pieces of art can be seen in all their glory at the Vintage Erotica website. Just google accordingly. You can thank me later, and I'm not taking any blame if your browser history is then seen by all and sundry. |
