Punk and New Wave thread.

Of course, you’re never going to get two people to agree on this sort of thing. For me, Ever Fallen in Love is *far* from their best song and Everybody’s Happy Nowadays and Fiction Romance are major omissions.

Everybody’s happy nowadays is my favourite. Love it. Ever fallen in love is great though, it’s a classic.
 
Don't know much about Blitz but I remember a load of pissed off people when they changed musical direction or something

Blitz were a 2nd gen punk/oi band from New Mills Derbyshire forming in 1980. They weren't a big band and pretty much stayed under the radar but I'd be amazed if Greenday and The Offspring weren't influenced by Blitz. I saw them at least twice in the very early 80s and they were a decent outfit back in the day.

Never got into the 2nd generation bands, other than Vice Squad.
Chron Gen / Discharge / Exploited etc was too much cartoon punk, studded jackets, mohawks and lyrics you couldn't decipher due to the singer just blaring out a noise.
I think I had an EP with 4 bands with a song each one of which was Blitz. I think The Business were on it too.
One of them had a song called Guatemala. May even have been a free EP in one of the weeklies as I couldn't see me buying it
