The 70's for me personally started here, this song helped change the face of the music industry and some would say society as a whole, and it's
fantastic!
Sex Pistols - Anarchy In The UK.
Stiif Little Fingers - Wasted Life.
Still recording and touring, seen them live 9 times now. Have maintained their integrity through all the years.
The Ruts - Babylon's Burning
One of the most under rated bands of the time and genre, could have been true greats if Malcolm Owen had not died so young. Recently performed with
Henry Rollins singing lead.
The Clash - White Man In Hammersmith Palais.
When I first heard this I realised that The Clash were heading for true greatness. R.I.P. Joe.
Tubeway Army - Are Friends Electric
Not everyone's cup of tea but this band helped me discover Kraftwerk and thus demands respect just for that alone!
Joy Division - Transmission
Alas, Ian Curtis, another who died so young, makes me feel a bit cheated.
Everyone has heard Love Will Tear Us Apart, thought i'd post something maybe less familiar for most.
The Jam - Down In The Tube Station At Midnight.
Weller was 17 years old when he wrote this. Like a lot of his early songs, probably just as relevant today as they were nearly 30 years ago.
Come on Paul if your out there, as a thanks to all your fans who have supported you through all the years, give us what we want, a full
reunion.
The Specials - Gangsters.
From thus comes my love for all things Scooters, Skinheads, Ska, Trojan etc.
For more Specials see the 4th link in my signature.
