We have Northern Soul, Heavy Metal, Ska, Reggae, Thrash Metal and Motown threads but I noticed there wasn't one or I couldn't find, a thread on punk music. Quite a few who joined in the mid to late 70's and early 80's may very well remember being in a block somewhere getting your kit ready for the next day with a radio on in the background playing punk music in the charts like the ruts or a cassette player playing the sex pistols.
Punk was everywhere wether we liked it or not, my wife used to say to me that she loved disco but couldn't stand punk.
I dug out some cd's and started playing the odd hit or two along with some punk songs that were not hits but people remember for other reasons.
I put on Babylons burning by the ruts and she remembered and liked it, as she did for some other bands like sham69, stiff little fingers and the sex pistols. It's only after I had played half a dozen tunes that she realised that there were quite a few punk bands that she liked.
So who were your favourite band/s and what were your fafourite punk songs?
Punk is still going strong and both the mrs, myself and my son regularly go to punk gigs to see bands like dirtbox disco and born to destruct.
Here are a few bands that my wife remembers and liked
The Ruts, Babylon is burning
Anarchy in the uk by the sex pistols
Sound of the suburbs by the members,
Who we saw at my local a couple of months ago.
And finally some dirtbox disco
And the last band for the moment is born to destruct.
I have seen them play a few gigs over the last couple of years and I can honestly say that we have always enjoyed each and every gig. So if you see them coming to your town, city, village or hamlet
