It was all punk to me back then. Bands like Devo and Siouxsie and the Banshees were punk. They didn't fit that Pistols or Clash template but who cares?
Love the UK punk and I need more albums in my collection. Enjoyed the showing thanks for sharing. Vinyl Rich is amazing I love his channel because he always tells it like it is with no sugar coating involved. Cheers Snowy
Norm , I like your picks , particularly The Au Pairs ! If you don't have , seek out the 12" of Innocence with an incredible alternate version of " Headache For Michelle " 4 I would have included are Buzzcocks " Love Bites " Pete Shelley was a great ✍. The debut Undertones record. Ultravox " Ha Ha Ha ! " Side 2 is perfect & John Foxx was awesome ! And finally the 1st Killing Joke LP. Geordie , a great 🎸. That album has had songs covered by Mettalica & The Foo Fighters. Good memories.
A lot of these are more punk in spirit than actual musical style, but back when punk first started, the first generation were open minded enough to accept these bands and these albums as their own. Good job.

Nice to hear and see your choices. Wow, never knew anyone that was at that Winterland show, other then the press. Cool! Glad to see a few here....more in my area of punk (as opposed to the Harder side). I own the Slits, and I understand what/why they are punk, but I am not into the sound. Interesting your tie in to Au Pairs where they both run parallel. I like their guitars mostly. Nice Gang of 4, it is so funny how many folks are NOT into them. Clash...hmmmm, best RnR band, interesting.....coming from a Stones head. Actually Strummer is one of the best RnRollers. I have been planning on a small Punk doc version for years, and finally started my gathering my research. UK/NYC 75-77......however what is putting me off course is how much there is to expose, and trying not to be so redundant with what is out there already (which is useless to try). Where is Ken Burns....John Varvatos / Iggy have a good one out recently. oh....you are missing the beer for Richie's opening... cheers! steve
Some of my favorite (I never say best) ... British version of Clash debut, Never Mind the Bollocks, Generation X debut (my all time fav punk album) GBH City Baby Attacked by Rats, The Ruts The Crack, Leatherface Mush, Cockney Rejects either Greatest Hits Vol 1 or Vol 2, The Partisans self titled, The Ejected A Touch of Class, Discharge Hear Nothing....
You should check out The Style Council's "Our Favorite Shop" with very fleshed out arrangements, strong melodies, sharp production and Weller's peak songwriting.
Where’s stiff little fingers with Hanx 🤔 and the Crack by the ruts 🤔 clockwork orange by angelic upstarts 🤔 another kind of blue by UK subs. All great albums all in my top 10 😇
Hi .. great shows .. that gang of 4 is one of my favourites.. I’ve told you before I want that au pairs album .. .. I have a original copy of that ep by billy Bragg .. great mini album .. punch me in the mouth ! I wouldn’t call it punk 🤣.. I saw the damned in 1980 crazy gig .. the clash were the best
I even like Songs Of The Free which offended some GO4 fans. I love The Damned " Prog " epic " Curtain Call " I have seen them play it live a few times. Norwich , 👎 today 😠
Punk Rock passed me by at the time . Tried to get into it years later all to no avail . Maybe it was the lack of good musicianship or solos but time has,nt changed my opinion . As an old hippie l'll stick with my Prog / Rock .
Very true, Vinyl Ritchie. But it was a term after the fact. When the Romans first tried to invade Britain in 45 B.C. it was not given that date originally...WOW - from Punk to the Romans (Lol)....whatever you call it - great music it is
This should be interesting - Eyes Without A Face is a great song - Never ever listened to Gang Of Four or The Slits or The Au Pairs , might give them a go - Billy Bragg, discovered by Todd Rundgren apparently, I would say is new wave/protest pop. Peculiarly no mention of The Stranglers - at the time in the UK they were considered Punk as there were just really 2 big bands - Sex Pistols and The Stranglers. At that time I found The Stranglers far more interesting than The Sex Pistols and it was borne out by their diversity
I’ve always been fascinated as to what people consider punk and what isn’t? Is Green Day punk? Nirvana? I mean sure, the 70s brought us what people traditionally think of as punk but don’t things naturally profess? Oh Joy Division is a prime example of what I’m talking about. Punk? Post punk? New wave? Or are labels just ridiculous
Nah thats Not the top ten Its more like 1 sex pistols never mind the bollocks 2 the Clash the Clash 3 buzzcocks another music in a different kitchen 4 damned machine gun etiquette 5 the Stranglers IV rattus norvegicus 6 the Vibrators pure mania 7 the adverts crossing the red sea with 8 slaughter and the dogs do It dog style 9 the boys the boys 10 stiff little fingers inflammable material
wow...Au Pairs...hadn't thought about them for a while - that is a great record. Billy Idol does have a great voice - you're right. Never heard the Damned...they didn't get a lot of radio time where I grew up. I did get to see the Clash once in Atlanta...you really think they're better than the Stones? Wow...not me, but I did enjoy their show. Cool list Mazzie - thanks!
Where is Wire's Pink Flag? The Buzzcocks we're big on the punk scene and The Vibrators and The Saints deserve a spot. But no excuse for forgetting Wire. Good list but you have some minor good LP's. WHERE IS WIRE!!!
It surprised me that a man with such eclectic tastes I would think you would have at least heard of them. Their first two LP's opened the door for post punk. I recommend you get a newer copy of Wires Pink Flag. I saw them at CBGB and they chased the Ramones home. A band to support. The NY Dolls fill in guitarist Peter Jordan turned me onto their LP in 1977 and it been in my family since. My grandson loves it. Thanks for the return message. I hope you get to hear them on RUclips, their first three LP started a whole riot of new bands with new sounds (Joy Division). Thanks for all you music videos and I dig how you rock your hats .
@@davidbeckerich4792 I have heard of them and the album. For some reason it simply escaped me Of course now that you reminded me I’ll be on the look out for a copy 🕺
Reverencing the vinyl loving Trumpanzee. Some Punks bands had a neo fascist element. We had a few scraps with the Oi Oi Punk Skins 40 years ago. The movement, if you can call it this, was a mish mish of ideas, not always that progressive or mature. Pistols were Bollocks , that was the point, entertainment for the masses., same as the Rolling Stones! Slits are relatively well respected these days, even amongst the more serious musos. As to why?
Post Punk is Punk. Nobody back in the day said, “Let’s go to the Post Punk show.”
Exactly!!!! Made up after the fact.
I grew up in the late 50s and early 60s, your right we just called it all Rock!
You are right. It is indeed, Rock and Roll.
@Myke Fuller ouch
It was all punk to me back then. Bands like Devo and Siouxsie and the Banshees were punk. They didn't fit that Pistols or Clash template but who cares?
Stiff Little Fingers, Inflammable Material
Nice picks! Right up my alley!
Haha! Love that Vinyl Richie style intro 😄
The original UK pressings of the Damned's debut was on Stiff records, not Island!
My copy s on Stiff. Did I say Island ? If so I misspoke. Cant remember 🥺😎
@@mazzysmusic Stiff Records, yes; but manufactured and distributed by Island Records Ltd., 22 St. Peter's Square, London

Hi from Wales. Saw the the Clash on their first tour. A life changer. Flared trousers out the window from then on.
Thanks for keeping the thread going Mazzy! Love that Au Pairs cover. Can't go wrong with any of these.

Somehow , Inconvenience became innocence ! Spell check ..
I would do a response, but you and Vinyl Richie covered all the albums I would’ve shown.
The Digital Gramophone Me too. I might do one anyway...
Great list. A couple omissions,
Wire "Pink Flag" the best of the bunch in my opinion.
I'd have made room for X-Ray Spex "Germfree Adolescents" also.
Billy Idol: Hair like Sting, sounds like Bing! Hilarious!

Ending arm still in frame... Spot on lmao!!!
My friend’s cousin dated Dave Vanian in 1977, he was a frequent visitor at the house owned by a Peter Overend Watts
Fun times
As you no doubt know Mott were a massive influence on the early punk bands .
That Damned album is a big hole in my collection. Not sure what is wrong with me.
have you seen a doctor for this condition?
Norman Maslov Yes I was diagnosed with a wax deficiency.
It's not exactly easy to get ...
My first album I bought when I was 15. Still have it and 90%of my punk records from 77 to 79.
I don't think Ian Curtis did that to be "punk"!
Crass turned the punk rock turntable upside down. Definitely, the most important band along with the Pistols.
Hi Norman 2nd video of yours that I have watched you have mentioned The Jam im happy
There’s a new Whack A Mole posting Monday night with three Jam albums 🎸
@@mazzysmusic cheers will have a look

My favorites are the Gang of Four and Au Pairs, who were bands from the same Leeds scene
well they lived in Leeds but were just southern poshos...
Lets be honest, The Jam were New wave and so not punk, Slits made me miss seeing the Clash in 78 as they caused a riot at the Newcastle Polytechnic
The Jam's first two albums are punk, after that, no.
The Jam wasnt a punk band,they were mod

Exellend ...but not "punk"
Billy Bragg!
Where’s stiff little fingers with Hanx 🤔 and the Crack by the ruts 🤔 clockwork orange by angelic upstarts 🤔 another kind of blue by UK subs. All great albums all in my top 10 😇
Clash.
أحب ريتشي إلى أقصى الحدود ، لديه طريقة خاصة أحبها ، مرحة ، صادقة وغير مبالية . 😂👍
The "course of zpunds" the first from
"Killing Joke" and also the "3 jphns"have great "punk"albums.
somebody once said this difference between punk and post punk is punk was 'fuck you' and post punk is like 'we're fucked'
The vibrators
Ramones, NewYork Dolls and N one Sex Pistols the best band Forever. Punx No Dead. Punks 70's the best Punk.

David Ellis I have hard by gang of 4 from 83..... very 80s sounding .... yeah what happened today ? You guys can’t go on like this !
love punk, all forms of punk, does some of it suck, sure, but play it loud and proud anyway, cheers
Punk Rock passed me by at the time . Tried to get into it years later all to no avail . Maybe it was the lack of good musicianship or solos but time has,nt changed my opinion . As an old hippie l'll stick with my Prog / Rock .
I would suggest listening to the The Stranglers as almost a bridge of prog and punk - completely mystified why they were not mentioned
in my humble oppinion the clash is by a mile better than london calling but thats just me
Very true, Vinyl Ritchie. But it was a term after the fact. When the Romans first tried to invade Britain in 45 B.C. it was not given that date originally...WOW - from Punk to the Romans (Lol)....whatever you call it - great music it is
Thanks, Norman. Glad you liked my comment - although I put the numbers in the wrong order - I should have said 54 BC (and 55BC)
What is amusing is when someone is genuinely struggling with, is this punk or post punk.

@@glennrickelton4093 yes you did

eh gotta listen to Gof 4
He really fucked up my way, it was so bad but we loved it lol.
Sid Vicious version of My Way is a glorious car crash
Clash better than the Stones 😆😆😆
I don't really know what punk really is, i think the WHO were punk back in the mid 60s or were they mods?
I’ve always been fascinated as to what people consider punk and what isn’t? Is Green Day punk? Nirvana? I mean sure, the 70s brought us what people traditionally think of as punk but don’t things naturally profess? Oh Joy Division is a prime example of what I’m talking about. Punk? Post punk? New wave? Or are labels just ridiculous
Of course. All the genres keep getting split up into sub genres. It's whatever you chose to call it.
It’s all Punk to me.
Vinyl Richie I hear ya. I mean for his time, Johnny Cash was kind of punk
Ayers Division Dylan’s Hard Rain tour was Punk in 76
Norman Maslov punk is merely an attitude. So Dylan was punk as fuck. A big fu to the establishment and later the folk community when he went electric.
Neither of you included the other Joy Division album!
Nah thats Not the top ten Its more like
1 sex pistols never mind the bollocks
2 the Clash the Clash
3 buzzcocks another music in a different kitchen
4 damned machine gun etiquette
5 the Stranglers IV rattus norvegicus
6 the Vibrators pure mania
7 the adverts crossing the red sea with
8 slaughter and the dogs do It dog style
9 the boys the boys
10 stiff little fingers inflammable material
Billy Bragg is feckin great ✌️
He sure is ✌🏽

The Sex Pistols played in Atlanta.
Johnny Moped. Cycledelic.
Hi Norm, i get a hell of a kick out of you and your videos, i think we would be good friends but i can't handle punk unless they are decent musicians
Don Mahlman well that sort of defeats the original concept of Punk 🤓🥺😎. Maybe we could be friends if you stopped calling me norm 😳🙄😘
@@mazzysmusic sorry Mazzy
@@donmahlman1040 HA Don't take it personal. My fiends know that I hate that. It fact most people just call me by my last name ;-)
I’m calling you Norm from now on.
Vinyl Richie so punk of you 😎
That is the worst Jam album, should've gone with In the City.
London calling is crap compared to Clash. Bragg ! Woke warrior tit. Very decent list though. V2 never gets mentioned and is a good album. 999 too.
Bragg a complete loser and nothing to do with punk
