Ahh... The perfect punk album.
>>131434748maybe for tea sipperspicrel is the real answer
>>131434818thats not livong in dsrkness
>>131434748it's either this or The Damned: Machine Gun Etiquette. both are perfect imo and both came out around the same time
>>131435404It has some good singles but best punk? You had stuff like Pere Ubu, Wire, PIL, The Pop Group or Go4 which sounded years away.
>>131434748Looks like you posted the wrong pic there on accident OP but don't worry I got you
Wrong pic sorry
Joe Strummer was no different. It was terrible the way he died, but it needs saying that he wasn't the savviest cultural commentator. His politics were all over the place; bluster over substance, that's what he represented. We supported The Clash in New York in 1981. Belting out naive generalizations in front of this backdrop that went from the Yorkshire Ripper to pictures of kids being coshed; all very clichéd. It was like watching the news in your living room with The Clash playing in the corner. Everybody knows it's wrong. But coming at it from that angle is pointless, thoughtless even.The sad thing about it all is he distanced himself from his middle-class background and education, appropriated this tough heart-on-the-sleeve messenger stance so convincingly, but lacked the wit to take it anywhere fresh. He was preaching to the converted, and I don't just mean his fans, but himself as well. He daren't offend anybody, because they'd just charge him with being a phoney, and he daren't look at it in a sceptical way, because then he'd be employing his privileged education. That was the crux of his problem.
Perfuct punk album is a cod reggae record?
>>131434748Eh, if a metal band makes a new wave album then does that make the project a metal release? London Calling is more of a post punk album than a true punk album. >inb4 anything can be punk because punk means being a non conformist and doing whatever it is you want so making mainstream music is actually punk rock because it is punk rock in spirit Punk the ethos and punk the actual musical style and art form are different. The musical style was defined by the damned, the ramones, the clash, the sex pistols, and the other rock and roll bands who played fast, loud, and mainly power chords with a lot of attitude. London Calling isn't short, fast, to the point, and raucous rock and roll, it is more experimental, drawn out, complex. It is way more of a post punk album than a straight up punk rock album.
>>131435910>the damned, the ramones, the clash, the sex pistolsThese were just doing a garage rock revival, the likes of Pere Ubu, The Fall and Wire were actually doing some sort of new genre.
>>131435495i consider GI to be a hardcore album; not punk. still 10/10 tho.
>>131436025Punk rock took inspiration from rock that came before it. Wire, the fall, pere ubu, gang of four, siouxsie and the banshees, echo and the bunnymen, the sound, were all doing something truly different but all came after punk rock and took from that, too. Both are true. London calling has more in common with post punk than punk rock.
>>131436143>>131435910london calling has more in common with new wave and pop rock. desu outside of the lyrics, musically the punk edge was lost
>>131436143who the hell is peter gubu
>>131436186you probably think Give 'Em Enough Rope is more punk than London Calling
>>131436143>but all came after punk rockNo, Wire and Suicide's debut was contemporary to the Sex Pistols' and Pere Ubu's debut came just a few months after.Punk is not a genre, it's just a need to make rawer rock music. Some thought the best way to this was revert to simple garage-like rock, while others were thinking about more cutting edge stuff, at was all contemporary.
>>131436143>Punk rock took inspiration from rock that came before ithow bout i take inspiration from your uncle and molest you in your little dinosaur jammies?
>>131434748Stuff Little Fingers was the best punk band (pre-hardcore) from the British Isles.
>>131436094no, something like Discharge Hear nothing See nothing Say nothing is hardcore, not the Germs, they were punky punk you puzzled panther.
>>131436198You probably think london calling is more punk than the damned's machine gun etiquette Newsflash buddy: It isn't. >>131436231You're cruising for a bruising, pal. I might have to show you my power level. Perhaps I shouldn't, I would destroy you with ease and with no mercy.
The Clash just do not do it for me I have to say. Sex Pistols have more attitude. Clash with the ska and all that, skiffle whiffle Rude boi man. Couldn't give a toss. It's about Fuckin chaos for its sake innit. Sex Pistols that was rock to its bones
>>131436313you talk all this nonsense about punk rock, but you don't even know where REAL rock 'n roll came from. it was fast freddy & the crooners 1952https://vocaroo.com/1lmZSLOtKyX9
>>131436198yeah. Rope is poppier than the debut, but the rocknroll and the ponk is still there
>>131436297What We Do is Secret is objectively hardcore
>>131436094>>131436297>>131437933Personally I consider GI one of those extremely unique records that comes out during a transition period where a music genre evolves into offshoots. I remember reading the story about how the producer and even the band were at the studio and basically just expected Darby to come in all drunk and not wanna do anything but then right on schedule 8am Darby shows up stone cold sober with a notebook full of lyrics and they proceed to record in 12 hours what was probably up to that point the heaviest and fastest "punk" record that had been cut
>>131435670/thread
Link Wray was the first punk rocker
>>131440649getting your song banned from the radio because your guitar playing was too violent is honestly pretty badass, even for the 50s. Hasil's also good proto-proto-punk.

>>131440649Huh? Does he even make music? I thought he just did self-insert comic books and yelling on TGWTG. And he’s certainly not old enough to have predated the Sex Pistols…
>>131434748the perfect punk album has to be basically unlistenable in a way you've never heard before and aggressive.like Residents' Eskimo, or even Nina Hagen. not many people consider those punk tho
>>131440820also the poster child for the "punk" aura, being the James dean antihero who rebels against the sharp tie and suits of the 50s and gets in fights>>131441228what the fuck did you mean by this?
The OG pop punk album.
>>131442953Objectively wrong
>>131442945I think he's referencing that dude "Linkara" from the nostalgia critic. Some fedora guy from the 2000s, bad pun lol
>>131443039Better than anything The Clash ever put out
>>131434748Tell your dad my condolences
Misfits mog
>>131434748Pretty good but not punk enough
