Heston and Marky's Friday Top 5

[Marky Dread]

I'm blanking and the obvious ones have been picked …

Wire - 12XU (hard to deny this as a punk song, despite Wire not considering themselves a punk band)
Buzzcocks - Orgasm Addict
The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
PiL - Public Image (c'mon, this is basically a punk song)
Rich Kids - Rich Kids (not really punk, but whatever)

Public Image is considered a post punk song and that as mentiones in my first post a follow up, top 5. Wire punk/not punk when it suits apparently . Rick Kids more (pop) post punk really. Still 2 out of 5 not bad.

I said I was blanking!

Come on you can do better :

The Slits
The Adverts
The Fall
Swell Maps
Skids
Sham 69
999
U.K. Subs
The Lurkers
The Vibrators
The Rezillos
Generation X
Penertration
The Boys
Subway Sect
Elvis Costello

Just a few off the top of my head. Are you so comfortable these days with your head so full of coffee tables?

A lot of those I hesitate to call coffee tab … punk.

Oh well no one ever had any fun by refusing to play.

Too true Marky, there must 50+ classic UK debuts (punk, or on the edge of punk) IMHO, and a USA list will be immense. Mainland Europe too? Well, Metal Urbain at least
