I think the only difference between Kerplunk and Dookie is that Dookie had a much better production.

Back on topic.............

My favourite Buzzcocks tracks are Promises and What Do I get (as well as the more obvious choice - EFILWSYS've!). Oh my god, almost forgot (but not quite!) Love You More and Everybody's Happy Nowadays!!!

Favorite Buzzcocks track: definately "Love You More".

One of my old bands used to play a cover of "Orgasm Addict". Strange thing is that nobody ever seemed to know the song when we played it live (not even in England!). So the strange conclusion I have to draw here is that the Buzzcocks are probably more popular among pop/rock fans than in the current punk/hardcore scene...

My guess: loud and noisy.

Jello Biafra's made clear that "if it wasn't for The Buzzcocks there would be little to no more harmony in punk rock. We'd all sound exactly like The Pistols or The Ramones, not thath thats a bad thing, but without The Buzzcocks, I don't think we could've done stuff like, y'know, Viva Las Vegas, Kinky Sex Makes The World Go Round, Rawhide, or whatever. They were probably a lot more important then the f***ing Clash."

As a melodramatic and lonely teenager mine is "What Do I Get?"

I don't know how people view The Stranglers (a lot of diehards at the time wouldn't accept them as punk) but they turned out more melodic and well-constructed tunes than your average punk band of the day. I'm thinking "Get a grip" and "Peaches(?)" here.

Joost · « **Reply #32 on:** June 02, 2006, 08:42:19 PM »

I love the Stranglers. They weren't really a punk band though, and I don't think they even thought or said they were (?).

They owe more to The Doors than to the Pistols or any other punk band. I can imagine most Stranglers songs with Jim Morrison on vocals.

At the least their record company sold them as such.

I love Aural Sculpture (but then again, I was a goth in those days)

But Jim Morrison was so important to the development of punk music. I mean, Jello Biafra has made clear his infatuation with him, as as John Lydon. And one must not forget Iggy Pop formed The Stooges after seeing The Doors in concert. And arguably Morrison's only contemporary on music themes was Zappa.

He certainly was.

By they way: did anyone ever notice how much Danzig (especially on the Misfits records) sounds like Jim Morrison?

Of course, he's always said that his two biggest influence are Elvis Presley and Jim Morrison.

Even Mr. Biafra can pull off a good Morrison howl when need be.
