I was about 6 when that came out. I absolutely hated stuff like siouxie at that age, much preferring shite like Boney M, and the smurfs, then Adam and the Ants and Shaking Stevens. Some of the music you like when you're under 10 is garbage.

This song just popped up in my recollection of Friday night trips up to a place called Edgworth Conny Club, a real on-it’s-arse political club with very few members and therefore very little income. The then Stewardess, Phyllis Potter had a son, Mick Who fancied himself as a DJ and who suggested Friday night discotheques.

So, from being about 16 years old, just about every kid 16 - 20 descended upon Bolton’s only (probably) licensed youth club.

Having listened to it I don’t recall the tune being so monotonous but I guess this was the Punk era.

Saw them at the Ritz last year . With Steve Hillage.

Latest album is a must have.

Teens? T-Rex and Bowie early teens, Northern Soul from 15 years old till 18 ish, New Wave/Punk/Ska/Mod revival from 18 -20. No wonder teenagers are fucking confused. Happy days

So true.

Motorhead played Rock and Roll.

Lemmy wrote amazing ,clever and emotive lyrics.

Not many can find away to make Parallelogram rhyme. He did .

Now trust me on this Bolty.

Listen to the track 1916.

You will get a lump in your throat.

It should be played everwhere on Remembrance Sunday.

Not Lemmys finest hour but bloody close.

Isn’t it just “Ace of Spades” but with different lyrics like all the rest of their stuff ? Great song though.

No , you obviously have not listened to it.

Ace of Spades is Not a true reflection of the overall Motorhead experience.

Try another couple

Whorehouse Blues.

Lost Woman Blues

God was never on your side.

Love me forever

 

Orgasmatron

Now tell me they are all balls to wall metal.

I await your judgement.

Absolutely loved X Ray Spex. John Peel played “Oh Bondage Up Yours” to absolute death and got them the recognition that they deserved. That first album is absolute class

Poly Styrene was groundbreaking. Mixed race. Big fuck off braces on her teeth. Woman in a male dominated punk scene. And a classically trainer opera singer to boot. She dragged in a lot of the ska/reggae/black music culture types into punk simply by being who she was. No grand gestures. Just doing it. Folk of an age like @bolty58 will recognise the impact back in an age when it meant something

Haha yeh i remember Mick P from way back, he used to go in the Railway in B/X and he trained our football team for a while, i remember him deejaying in the area - always a good crack, he’s a good lad - happy days. X- Ray Spex were a decent band back in the day - if you were a teenager obvs.

Motörhead were an experience. You had to see them to understand them. I was massively into punk and ska in the 70’s. Motörhead and AC/DC were bands that blew me away live. Not my music at the time but two of the best bands I’ve ever seen live

Motorhead live at BIT. If you were there you’ll know what I mean

I went watching X Ray Specs on the same bill with Slaughter and the Dogs, Eater & Johnny Moped at Belle Vue in 77, Poly Styrene stole the show with Laura Logic blasting her sax out.

The music scene in Manchester at the time was brilliant, so many clubs to watch up and coming bands.

Lost his heart to Rosie, bought her a diamond and ended up with a club and a spade.

Still is (well it was before Coronavirus) different venues perhaps but so gigs on every night from a whole range of genres.

I've got mates who go to gigs nigh on every night. Just those of us who got into that married with children life no longer have the time or money to be doing that.
