I, too, preferred the 2nd wave but still enjoyed the 1st wave as well, particularly early Pistols, Damned and Buzzcocks. I still think 'Never Mind The ********************************' is a great album and it changed my music tastes forever. Less keen on The Clash but they had some gems like 'White Riot', 'White Man In...

Lifelong Tory voter here. I disagree with you, Red_House, about Sunak. He is a disaster for the Tory party. Directionless and spineless just like ..... Starmer! He has just stuck two fingers up to the Red Wall voters and just answers to his globalist puppet-masters. Bringing Cameron back FFS...

No problem pal

Punk was full of energy, angst and attitude. I was 12/13 at the time, growing up at boarding school, a little rebellious, changing from the ‘mummy’s boy’ I once was to an individual with his own views. The newness and vibrancy of punk came at the right time for me. It was my music, hence my...

Red Dragon by Volturian (just yesterday). I listen to most of my music an album at a time.

When punk and the Sex Pistols came along, everything before became a distant memory. The bands in this era that got most airtime with me were: The Fall Joy Division Crass Other honourable mentions; Pistols, Buzzcocks, UK Subs, Jam, Stranglers, X-Ray Spex, Clash, Siouxsie, Undertones, Damned...

To finish off tonight, another Peel-inspired contribution. I really liked this group at the time. 'Love On The Terraces' may be their best known track but I've gone for another Peel session track.

Another Peel-introduced track that grabbed my attention on first hearing. I've played the Peel session version as I think it is the best one.

Sometimes a track catches my attention but I'm not too sure why. Here's one such track from 1980 - John Peel used to play it.

Not your typical Swedish Rock band. Just listened to a few more of their tracks. Bit of an acquired taste but not too bad.

As most of songs on here are from earlier times, I thought I would choose a great song from this year. I heard it for the first time last week and I was immediately blown away. Great lyrics and superb delivery by both of the vocalists. I hope some of you agree.

Catchy tune this one - I've played the video every day for the last three weeks! From the feisty Scarlet and Thirsty, the vocalists of the Swedish band Scarlet.

Another Eastern European firecracker, Lena 'Scissorhands' Cataraga of the Moldavian band Infected Rain.

Just returned to the site after a lengthy hiatus. My biggest passion is music so I thought I'd contribute to this post. My favourite genres are punk and metal so I'm not sure whether they'll be many who will appreciate my choices, especially the more recent stuff. I'm a big fan of metalcore and...
