Some great bands there eman
Only Ones!!! Now where did they go? I loved their Baby's Got A Gun Album - I never considered them punk though - more power pop - but that is a cracking album.
Echo And The Bunnymen - first heard them on the John Peel Show - way, way back - another great 80's band.
Joy Division - I think Ian Curtis would still be writing great songs if he were still here today!
In fear every day, every evening
It calls here aloud from above
Carefully watched for a reason
Mistaking devotion and love
Surrendered to self-preservation
From others who care for themselves
A blindness that touches perfection
Appears just like anything else -
Isolation (3)
Mother I tried, please believe me
I'm doing the best that I can,
I'm ashamed of the things
I've been put through;
I'm ashamed of the person I am
But if you could just see the beauty,
these things I could never describe
This is my one consolation
This is my wonderful prize
Undertones - Remember them! Teenage Kicks has got to be the best (power) pop single of all time.
The Dammed - Black album is on of my faves - we went to see them again couple months back when I was in the UK - They didn't play one track off that album and the bastards never came on for the encore to play Smash It Up
