Like the Damned but my two cents on earliest punk: Check out The Kinks "All Day and All of the Night" from 1964. The opening chords sound more like 1976-7 punk to me than "My Generation." The Kinks punched holes in their amplifier with a knitting needle, cool.
I love the Damned, the Adicts, the Misfits, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Kennedys, the Ramones, the Clash, the Circlejerks, as well as new punk bands like Rancid and NOFX.
@flugelhornjesus Brilliant "come back" there, dickless. Was I bragging about being 15 and listening to music "that no1 at my skool doez!!"? That's pointless self-whoring. And I would already have 30 thumbs up if I had posted shit like that.
Actually THE WHO was the first punk band. They just evolved every album til' Moon's death. BTW "punk" is a attitude not a sound of music. Example- Johnny Cash. Oh yeah, The Damned fucking ROCK!!
@xreddragonx The Who's first record my generation was a punk album but after that they were rock/ hard rock but there still good though, mc5, stooges, the who, velvet underground the kinks alice cooper etc's all helped paved the way for punk rock.
Not quite, the first punk band was The Velvet Underground, Although their first album was groundbreaking, the first true punk song was off their 2nd album, the song was "Sister Ray".
Neat Neat Neat - The Damned [London, England] - 1977 - "AMG Pick. Captain Sensible's purring snarl of a bass line kicks it off and then the whole band cranks it and is gone. ...became just as well-known a punk anthem for the band and the U.K. scene as a whole. Brian James (UK punk rock guitarist) penned song. - Damned Damned Damned [30th Anniversary Expanded Edition] (Castle US) (Disc 1)-2007. NOTE: Just get the single CD version and you won't be missing much.
92% of teens have turned to pop and hip-hop.If you are part of the 8% that still listens to real music, copy and paste this message to 5 other videos. DONT LET ROCK N ROLL DIE !
@kjmacphee YES , The Sonics , thank you. But , it's too easy to start there .They were inspired , like any Northwest band worth it's salt , by The Wailers , who started in '57 or early '58 , and are considered by many to be the first Punk band , also Link Wray and The Wraymen. Lest we forget , too , all the great mid 60's Garage bands , along w/Sonics , that influenced The Damned and other bands with a clue. That's where Naz Nomad came from , but , no Hipster cred , no relevance.
Without The Damned life would be dull as a murky pond with rubbish in it.
I seriously cannot constrain myself at their gigs and anyone looking at the top video will see why. They are the best band of all time ever and always and thank god they are still going strong. Am mightily glad they're not too big though as it always feels such a privilidge seeing them at relatively intimate venues with a nicely sized mosh pit. Ace to find there are others here who think the same. huzzah for the damned!
im 12 and me and my mate were at the front of a concert and got totally squished lol but all the pain payed off when i caught captin sensibles towel at the end though i did have to wresle a man to the ground for it XD
The cramps .....oh yeah! now we're talking. Gotta love the cramps....or hate them....I don't care. Poison ivy is awesome! The damned are ok....for a few songs
@rokoholik22 Theres a fuken reason ur the only person who knwa who they are because i say there gay oh fuk they are gay oh gay gay gay gay gay gay gay. U are a fuken cunt ima penatrate u to hell
Haha I was also the only person when I was in school who knew about the damned the velvet underground iggy pop etc, haha since then now that im a couple years older alot of my friends finally disovered shit like this. One of my all time fav songs right hurrr
true that man true that. i dig this shit...no whiney poppy "punk" groups out there today can even fucking compare. punk can never ever be replicatedand will never die
that first album really woke up all the boring old farts who over produced and over priced them self's.. we need it again, punk that is ! ! still listen to the first album all the time and it sounds great now just like it did back then in 77 .
This is it! The absolute shit! I mean like a love the Clash and The Adverts, but these mates are surely the ultimate brittish punks. Sex Pistols? Yeah fuck, forget about them, all sold out... Popband...
Iggy Pop, the Kinks, and the Velvet Underground get no love. if not "punk" enough for you, they at least influences the hell out of whoever you all else think is the first
WHo gives a sh*t who the first punk band was. The fact is that The Damned is the most underrated rock band of all time. They deserve to be playing to U2 sized crowds. But unfortunately people are more interested in listening to rip-off bands like Muse and Wolfmother than listening to truly genuine bands like The Damned.
