I think this is a broad enough question to annoy you all with.

Sham 69 (I know, yawn)

I have to go with esoj on this one. I don't care if I ever hear "Anarchy In the UK" again during this lifetime.

ANARCHY IN THE UK

I'm just going to say it I can't stand this song.

The Exploited. Or were they '80s? Oh who cares.

― Nate Patrin, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 14:30 (twenty-three years ago)

Yes. "Anarchy," with "God Save the Queen" just barely spared.

"Hurry Up Harry" by Sham 69. Punk for people who religiously watch TOTP2.

I never liked the Stranglers myself, so if it's one act, them; if one track only, probably Peaches.

I still remember how astonishingly exciting Anarchy was when I first heard it. I forgive those early records almost anything, given the rock environment of the time. I'm old enough to have lived through the mid-70s, those pre-punk days when Lynyrd Skynyrd were about as exciting and energetic as rock got.

Pick a Clash number. ANY Clash number.

The Slits.

― Motel Hell, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:02 (twenty-three years ago)

I always thought "Oh Bondage Up Yours" by X-Ray Spex was complete crap.

― Joolz Fargo, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:03 (twenty-three years ago)

Patti Smith. About as 'punk' as Springsteen. Yuck.

― Alex in NYC, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:05 (twenty-three years ago)

Note to the last four posters: you made go "ARGH"

― Nate Patrin, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:16 (twenty-three years ago)

Good.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:17 (twenty-three years ago)

Yeah, real good, only I'm just wondering why you picked the Clash and Patti Smith and the Slits and "Oh Bondage" and not oh say the boring stupid Vibrators. (Oh crap, now I've made someone else go "ARGH")

You know, these threads rarely turn into anything particularly good or worthwhile, do they? "THIS BAND IS POOP!" Well all right then.

― Nate Patrin, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:22 (twenty-three years ago)

Patti Smith. About as 'punk' as Springsteen.

So?

― Jody Beth Rosen, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:25 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, because the Vibrators are fun and I'd rather listen to them than the Clash any old day. :-)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:30 (twenty-three years ago)

I hate fun. FUN SUCKS.

― Nate Patrin, Wednesday, 28 August 2002 19:31 (twenty-three years ago)

stinky toys!!
