I just spilt a bit of Horlicks onto the edge of my laptop keyboard, now it's all sticky. That's irrelevant though, to the reason for this blog.
The reason for my doing this blog is for one reason. I love Punk music. Simple. But I mean real, dirty, grimey, drug-addled punk from the 1970s. Not your clean, manufactured, neon pink and black pop-punk Claire's Accessories stuff. I don't know why I love Punk so much, but whenever I listen to anything I get so hyped and so enthused, it's like an electric impulse. I guess it's in my blood. You'll see why later.
Here's my 50 favourite Punk songs playlist. I've tried to include a number of different bands but some do appear a few times, like Ramones. I could make an entire Ramones playlist. Maybe next time. Some are obvious Punk cliches, but I hope there's a couple of ones you won't have heard:
- * Billy Idol - Dancing with Myself
- * The Stooges - Gimme Danger
- * Siouxsie and the Banshees - New Skin
- * Slaughter and the Dogs - Where Have All The Bootboys Gone? (This song was based on my dad. He used to do security for this band [from my hometown] and was a skinhead in his youth. Truth)
- * Patti Smith Group - Rock and Roll N****r
- * The Stranglers - Golden Brown
- * Ramones - Judy is a Punk
- * The Runaways - Cherry Bomb
- * The Stooges - Search and Destroy
- * The Damned - I Think I'm Wonderful
- * Dead Kennedys - To Drunk to Fuck

- * Blondie - Maria
- * The Buzzcocks - What Do I Get?
- * New York Dolls - Personality Crisis
- * The Stooges - I Wanna be Your Dog
- * The Runaways - I Love Playin' With Fire
- * Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - Crimson and Clover
- * The Vibrators - I Kissed a Girl
- * The Stooges - T.V. Eye
- * The Runaways - I Wanna Be Where The Boys Are

- * The Buzzcocks - Ever Fallen in Love with Someone
- * Sex Pistols - God Save the Queen
- * Ramones - Do You Wanna Dance?
- * New York Dolls - Looking For a Kiss
- * MC5 - Sister Anne
- * Misfits - American Psycho
- * The Runaways - Dead End Justice
- * Joan Jett & the Blackhearts - Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah)
- * Skids - Into The Valley

- * Blondie - Atomic
- * Ramones - My Brain is Hanging Upside Down (This was the first Ramones song I ever heard. I fell in love with Punk because of this song)
I could make this list at least twice as long, but I think 50 songs will suffice, nes pas?
Go forth and rock out.
