Punk and New Wave thread.

The UK Subs fan club was advertised in one of the music papers. I think it was NME. I joined the club by sending an SAE plus £1.99... or there abouts which I saved up a months pocket money for.

I later bought a Warhead T shirt for about a fiver after saving up another couple of months pocket money. Ha.

Lol, did you send it in postal orders? Used to use them so much when I wanted to buy stuff as a teenager without a cheque book!

I know of Cock Sparrer but never listened to them.....is that a good example of how they sound? Cos that's feckin brilliant

It's one of my favourites by them but seems to be quite obscure and rarely played live.
All the earlier albums are worth having
A couple more favourites

don’t know if anyone else has seen this or has a view on it ...

Not bad. As others have pointed out, a lot of bands that were maybe a little more post-punk are missing.
Big A Little A should be higher and if you’re going to have a bunch of Exploited songs in there, I’m amazed Fuck the USA didn’t make it.

I liked the Meteors

Same here. I thought King Kurt were shite. A flat-top mate of mine dragged me to the Hacienda to see them once. Tedious.

I think they are more remembered for foam and other crap being part of their act more than their songs

Were Adam and the Ants punk or new wave? I thought/think they're genius...

Certainly the Dirk Wears White Socks era was punk. Kings of the wild frontier was a lot softer yet twin drummers banging away

I used to play this quite often back in the day.

Yes. Postal Orders it was. Almost forget about those.

My favorite Ants song.
Saw him in Tampa a few years back and pleased he played it.
