    That is class.

    The other end of the scale is the focus and genius of Lydon,Levine and Wobble

    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.
  • punk & new wave

    The Jam
    The Clash
    The Stranglers
    The skids
    Penetration
    APB
    SLF
    Undertones
    Vapors
    The Ruts

    Cant restrict myself to 10:
    On the bench are XTC, The Members, UK Subs, Dead Kennedys, PIL - Oh the nostalgia
  • No mention of Ten Pole Tudor!

    Saw them with 14 (yes FOURTEEN) others at North East London Poly. Who Killed Bambi and Swords of a Thousand men - outstanding. They were doing requests at the end

    C'mon the Ramones? - any of you guys ever see them 'live' - I use that euphemistically because 'out of tune, drugged stupor torpor' would be more appropriate - I mean how can you play one chord out of tune?
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Are you thinking of the right band? I've never heard the words 'drugged stupor torpor' used to describe the Ramones before

    Definitely the Ramones about 1985, Barrowlands Ballroom, Glasgow - they were quite clearly stoned out their heads. Worse for them was that the support band, a Glasgow psychobilly band called the Stingrytes completed blew them away - they got an encore - most people just walked out when the Ramones finished. In those days, there were only 2 major venues in Glasgow and one in Edinburgh meaning it was possible to see all the 'big' bands - suppose I was spoilt for choice - but they were stand-out awful!

    Ever listened to the Ramones' live recording "It's Alive" from 1977? Definitely one of the all-time great live albums.
