Shit your face, I only do that on my day offs

 

Punk/Synth Britannia is ace, the fact that they've missed The Stranglers is ace. shows that they are a band on their own

 

However, I'd have said that about the Jam and they are on now

 

Whatever, it's brilliant programme making and makes my TV licence worth while

You see I loved the Clash up until Sandinista but then it became U2ish and not for me, so I agree The Clash by The Clash is supurb, but it's nowhere near Rattus or Black and White, not only musically but the latter where much geniusly clever in which they where unique in the music at the time

 

You see Cassie, it was always more for the thinking man than the obvious, but I comend you for the poorier mans Undertones

 

So I shall congratule you on your tastes on the lower orders of the masterace and leave you to you're bottom feeder music

 

I shall stick to the masterace of the music gods

 

I'm sure you are a king in other things, just not the elixia of the gods

And I realise my spelling and grammar was shit, but I've been out since 4

 

And now there is No More Heroes on so perhaps that has just buggared me up

 

But UA records considered them to be the Gretest Band Ever 1977

 

Anyhow, still the biggest selling punk band ever (if they even where) and that includes the Sex Pistols, Clash, Undertones, etc

No chance of The Stranglers being on Episode 3 - 1978-1981?

 

Glad The Damned got a really good mention on Ep1, always think they get seriously over shadowed by Pistols & Clash.

 

Just wondering if the next episode will also touch on Discharge, Subhumans, Blitz, ANL.

 

Guess there'll be mention of Sid's demise as well to consider.

Are you mad

 

5 Minutes/Nice n Sleazy/Duchess/Nuclear Device

 

Just before Golden Brown

 

And yes, lots of footage of Sidney's demise, is his mum still alive, I'm sure she was the one who supplied the Heroin for his overdose

 

Peter and the test Tube babies and Dead Kennedys and I'm in

Right, I remember punk rock... but I was only 7.

 

I remember the older kids being into it, but that's people only slightly older than me.

 

Did anyone over the age of 20 at the time give a fuck about punk? Given that they'd be 55+ now.

ok

 

am having a look

 

tell ya what

 

the clash

 

proper band

 

i bet the stranglers wish they could come close

 

Spot on Cas, The Clash were indeed a fcukin fine band from 1976 thru till about 1979.

Yeh yeh they went a bit "Hollywood" after that but so did many others - the punk moment was gone after 79 anyway imo.

London Calling was released December 1979 & has to be the finest punk album.

great album

 

 

Was it punk, though?

 

Exactly. A great album for sure, but not a punk album.

By the time "London Calling" was released The Clash had lost that raw garage band energy that they had for their first album imo.
