Name your Uk punk classics here.
I've been playing a lot of Damned, Adicts, Stranglers and Adverts lately. Some 999 and jam too. Buzzcocks and Stiff of course...
What else Am I missing ?
UK punkrock Classics
X-ray Spex, Rezillos, Generation X
Cock Sparrer
VincentMutant don’t let the Stiff Little Fingers hear you calling them English, but good list. I would add Eater and of the course the much maligned Sex Pistols
Poison Girls and slightly later era but Chaos UK and of course Rudimentary Peni (the greatest)
Wire - Pink Flag
How about Chelsea ?
I don't listen to it all that often these days, but Slaughter and the Dogs Do It Dog Style can hit the spot. Also a big Alternative TV/Mark Perry fan, though that veers into post-punk territory.
dont forget magazine, rudi, and the incredible kidda band
Stranglers
Johnny moped
By UK classics, I take it you mean the 70s stuff? One of the most underrated ones IMO is The Boys – their first two LPs are so good! Also way into The Adverts, Buzzcocks, X-Ray Spex, SLF (technically UK), as well as Crass. I also enjoy Slaughter & The Dogs, Rezillos, The Stranglers, Damned, etc.
Been revisiting the Pistols album in recent years, after literally decades of not wanting to hear it ever again. It's a solid record. Loving The Professionals too.
Incredible Kidda Band thirded, but we're delving more into power pop territory here.
If we're talking early 80s, then fucking DISCHARGE. In capitals.
The Exploited
I'd add The Lurkers, The Fall, The Vibrators, and The Only Ones. The Electric Chairs counts for me, too.
If we're counting UK82, then GBH for sure.
the undertones! vibrators, soft boys, eddie and the hot rods
Puncture - Mucky Pup / You Can’t Rock and Roll 7”
The Users - Sick of You is a godhead 7" as fr as I'm concerned.
Wrote “brain dead heart” on the circs lp after a uk punk listening binge, particularly 999 and generation x.
This song was a strong reference point for me
