Ministry (AFTER Al Jorgenson started using acid)
local band called "The Zone", played what they called "politico-rock" Pretty cool tunes, and fun to party with backstage.....They were married guys, and they played after spending thier days doing other meneal jobs. Adam and the Ants Buthole Surfers Dead Kennedys (Holiday in Cambodia) Soft Cell (not the "tainted love" stuff, but the "sex-dwarf" stuff) New Models Plasmatics (shame that Wendy O'Williams took her own life) Midnight Oil (good music but heavy into the aboringinize rights lyrics, but still good tunes) DEVO (I learned the lyrics to "can't get no satisfaction" from their version) I can remember spending MANY a Friday and/or Saturday night at the Rathskellar in Kenmore Square, Bunratty's in Allston, The Channel in South Boston, and AXIS (formally SPIT) on Lansdowne St. Saw some great actrs and had some very interesting nights in those joints. |

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:

imho
the best and most musicallt talented of the bunch YouTube - The Clash - I'm So Bored With The U.S.A./Train In Vain (live YouTube - The clash - Police and Thieves YouTube - The Clash - Lost In Supermarket |
YouTube - Neutral Nation - Almost Dunn/Take Control live at The Ocean Mist 3/28/09
and the singer is a surfcaster (Narragansett Surfcasters) and occasional poster in the club forum..... |
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.
