Classic Punk 3

I've found some more videos for some of the songs I have on my Classic Punk playlist. Enjoy.

Surf Punks - My Wave - man I love this band. If you can get a hold of the album, "My Beach", do it.

Johnny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Around a Memory - Johnny has a lot of great songs, but this is a classic.

Bad Religion - You - back when I used to flatland bmx freestyle I had a routine for competitions set to this song. Brings back memories.

Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love (With Someone You Shouldn't) - it was a sad day when I heard this song playing in a commercial and knew it was now exposed to the masses.

Social Distortion - Another State of Mind - I love this band, every song of there's kicks ass, kind of hard to pick a favorite, but this definitely ranks up there.

The Damned - New Rose - this song fuckin' rocks.

Bad Brains - I Against I - I still remember seeing them my freshman year of university in Munich, Germany. Got to hang out with HR and the band afterward.

Suicidal Tendencies - Institutionalized - many an afternoon was spent skateboarding on the local basketball court to this tape.

Reagan Youth - USA - A USA for Anarchy!!

Minor Threat - 12XU - the only thing wrong with this song is it's too long Happy

7 Seconds - Young 'Till I Die - I always considered this my life mantra

The Misfits - Hybrid Moments - man this is a great song

Classic Punk

I was going through my iTunes library making a 'Classic Punk' playlist and thought I'd share what I consider to be some of my favorite songs. A lot of the punk I listen to is from the 70s and 80s, so a lot of these will be from around that time period.

1. If The Kids Are United - Sham 69 : I love the video I found on YouTube for this, looks like it's from some kids variety show.

2. Your Generation - Generation X : Great song from Billy Idol's old band, Generation X.

3. BloodStains - Agent Orange : I love the riff in this song, a great skate tune.

4. Jilted John - Jilted John : Great old punk.

5. Amoeba - Adolescents : Another classic skate tune.

6. First Time - Boys

7. Brickfield Nights - Boys : Love this song

8. The End of the World - The Avengers : awful video, but a great song.

9. Homicide - 999 : This is a great old punk band.

10. Rich Kids - Rich Kids : punk boy band

11. All This And More - Dead Boys

My playlist is currently up to 76 songs. I'm not going to post them all today, will break it up into an occasional posting.

The Adicts

The Adicts are the longest surviving punk band with all the original members. The formed back in 1975 in Ipswich, England. I listened to them back in the day and have gotten back into them recently. For Christmas I received an iTunes gift card, and I used it to purchase Made In England. This CD contains 25 of their greatest hits, and it's definitely something everyone who enjoys punk music should have in their collection. If you are interested in hearing them, here they are performing 'Viva La Revolution' and great song.
