ok - I dont want to start our usual debate cuz you think I always argue with you, but the Ramones are punk, practically the fathers of it , soo the thread is really POST punk,..... bands ones who reacted to and were influenced by the Ramones, Sex Pistols and many others. Not being a doooosh, just clarifying, This music was a big reaction to the big 60s 70s rock gods, theatrics, big solos, long tunes.
The Ramones are one of my fav bands. I really think the whole concept of "alternative" rick can be describer as post punk. Punk rockers gave a whole new life to music :love: Quote:

Jim, to your point about the Ramones being punk, wouldn't you put the Clash in that category too? They definitely meet the definition of punk. You also listed Black Flag and the Dead Kennedy's, which I'd consider more early hardore punk than post punk.

Wow, someone reads what I post!
yes, I'll agree with DK and Black Flag but to me the clash evolved a lot from just punk. Love the ramones, but they're not a diverse band. same with sex pistols the Clash's album London Calling, contains reggae, ska, rockabilly, rock, punk rock, etc. They were very influential in bridging the gap from punk to mainstream and blending styles. Thats why I think they're, imho, a massive post punk band. There are no, zero, punk bands that headlined major stadiums. The Clash did. I stick with my opinion |
n August and September 1979, The Clash recorded London Calling. Produced by Guy Stevens, a former A&R executive who had worked with Mott the Hoople and Traffic, the double album was a mix of punk rock, reggae, ska, rockabilly, traditional rock and roll and other elements possessed of an energy that had hardly flagged since the band's early days and more polished production.[44][45] It is regarded as one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.[46] Its final track, a relatively straightforward rock and roll number sung by Mick Jones called "Train in Vain", was included at the last minute and thus did not appear in the track listing on the cover. It turned out to be their first US Top 40 hit, peaking at number 23 on the Billboard chart. In the UK, where "Train in Vain" was not released as a single, London Calling's title track, stately in beat but unmistakably punk in message and tone, rose to number 11—the highest position any Clash single reached in the UK before the band's break-up. London Calling reached number 9 on the British chart and number 27 on the US chart. The cover of the album, based on the cover of Elvis Presley's self-titled 1956 debut LP, became one of the best known in the history of rock.[43] Its image of Simonon smashing his bass guitar was later cited as the "best rock 'n roll photograph of all time" by Q magazine.[42] During this period, The Clash began to be regularly billed as "The Only Band That Matters". Musician Gary Lucas, then employed by CBS Records' creative services department, claims to have coined the tagline.[47] The epithet was soon widely adopted by fans and music journalists.[48]

Jimmy...you have the intent of the thread correct....
POST punk....:grins: I hate term New wave, which is to me a more Pop/ commercial grouping.....some of the bands in here I'd call new wave. Kind of like the difference between heavy metal and hair bands. |
Punk rock is a rock music genre that developed between 1974 and 1976 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia. Rooted in garage rock and other forms of what is now known as protopunk music, punk rock bands eschewed the perceived excesses of mainstream 1970s rock. They created fast, hard-edged music, typically with short songs, stripped-down instrumentation, and often political, anti-establishment lyrics. Punk embraces a DIY (do it yourself) ethic, with many bands self-producing their recordings and distributing them through informal channels.
By late 1976, bands such as the Ramones, in New York City, and the Sex Pistols and The Clash, in London, were recognized as the vanguard of a new musical movement. The following year saw punk rock spreading around the world, and it became a major cultural phenomenon in the United Kingdom. For the most part, punk took root in local scenes that tended to reject association with the mainstream. An associated punk subculture emerged, expressing youthful rebellion and characterized by distinctive styles of clothing and adornment and a variety of anti-authoritarian ideologies. |

I always thought of the Ramones to be sort of a novelty act....not really punk....they were great though |
The Clash are definitely punk. I always thought punk was more about the attitude than the actual sound of the music. The Clash played rebelious music with attitude. They were anti-government, anti-law enforcement, etc...

I posted the Dead Kennedys on other post. I did like them but TBH punk gives me a headache after a while then and now a days. Small quantities is how I like it and after that thread I will go back to my old folks music.
