Punk

There is scope for an overlap with the Reggae thread!

This lot is generally classed as a punk band but not long after this gig was recorded in Paris the lead singer died of a heroin overdose and the rest of the band recorded a dub album with Mad Professor as Ruts DC (da capo - back to the beginning) and prior to all that they were employed as the backing band of Ska legend Laurel Aitken.

And from the states there were the Bad Brains:

I ain't even gonna mention the Clash...
 
Punk so over generalized. There were different factions but what most people think about now is the hard fast guitar and sneering looks. i liked the easier side. And yes I know this will generate controversy
The Buzzcocks
The Dead Kennedys.
The Fleshtones
Gang of Four
And one of the best. X

^ interesting you mention Treponem Pal.

They started as punk and evolved into industrial ( "Excess & Overdrive" is a very good studio album ( live it was disapointing to say the least) produced by Franz Treichler from The Young Gods: this could explain it is so good) then into Dub.

Your own country produced some interesting things in terms of 'mauvais gout' ;) :D :

Don't take me wrong i absolutely love them! ( Kevin Key is an absolute genius to me).

Why do you think it'll be controversial Freecrowder?

Belgian indus?
Dive and relatives (Klinik, Sonar, ...Dirk Ivens projects edit: oh Front 242 and Lords of acid! I though they were dutch! )?

Bluegrass is nice. Oh well there is very little music genre i find uninteresting ( i've got issues with Dombolo/ Zouk and bad hip hop though... things i was forced to work on...)

When I gave my first ISSCC paper (AD524) I woke up to "Six Pack" as I had left the radio on. I also remember "Stukas Over Disneyland" came on later.

I was at the last Angry Samoans and Minor Threat concerts at the Channel in Boston both were wonderful chaos with nobody getting hurt and no police.
