🙂 i hesitate to post this one ( or 'l'eau rouge') because they are usualy considered as industrial but i think the border is fine and the punk influence is very strong.
I love The Young Gods. I versed into electronic music thanks to 'Only Heaven' (and Scorn 'Evanescence'). They have a very special place in my heart and for those who have seen them Live they are one of the most involving and sincere acts i've ever seen. I have fond memories of their live for the reopening ( or closing i can't remember) of the 'Noumatrouf' in Mulhouse around 96/97. Such an impressive concert.
Well, if you haven't listened to their latest effort 'Data Mirage Tangram' it is one of their best album ever. Lots of reference into it ( they even used some samples of Plastickman's 'vr96' series) and it sees the return of their historic keyboardist/ samplist.
I‘ll have to dig out their newer stuff.
The early recordings are just awesome.
I saw them in berlin 1991, it was verycool although not so involving as i thought they‘d be.
I came to listen to them through a recording of one of their first concerts, in the frisson in fribourg switzerland, and it was mindboggling even from that cassette (which I unfortunately lost some sad day).
Bauhaus
Dark Entries by Bauhaus is one of my all time favorites.
Also Anthrax by Gang of Four which was mentioned in an earlier post.
I never realized they both start with a guitar feedback solo...

I decided not to tallk with artists i'm fan of after a bad experience! It can be desilusioning. 😀
You lived in Berlin during 80's Charles? Should have been quite an experience. 😱

Yes and it was. 😉
Here's Elton Motello singing a very very risque tune [as in banned from all TV and radio stations on Planet Earth] during a German TV show.
It was played regularly here during a respite of all censorship that we enjoyed from around 1979 to 1983. The low end of the dial played everything and I mean everything. Crass, Feederz, all of it.
From the other side of the pond, look ma, a crossbreed of Ari Up with PJ Harvey.

SinceSteve mentioned The Ramones one song is clearly not enough so here is a good chunk of a whole gig.
14 songs in under 30 minutes!

Can’t have too much fun, or too much Ramones. Thanks Charles.
Now for something completely different but still on topic.
In 2011, Shonen Knife (a guilty pleasure) put out an album of Ramones covers and toured as The Osaka Ramones. Joey gave them that name when they opened for them in 1996 in Japan.

Watch them every time they come this way. Shonen Knife was my youngest daughter's first gig! 😉

I Can't Control Myself - The Troggs
Surely this counts as (pre-) punk?
I may have heard it first by Bernie Torme. It has also been covered by the Buzzcocks, Ramones....
Saw the Troggs perform in the 1980's in a Wakefield nightclub.
