It's like the perpendicular universe version of X-Ray Spex.
Lol @ 'perpendicular universe' version. That's awesome.
I think that the first Quarterflash LP is one of xhuxk's favorite punk albums.
Songs by Tubes and Greg Kihn effortlessly conjure the type of 80s schlock that new wave tragically gave way to, but obv nobody epitomized sucking in the 80d like Huey Lewis...

Actually, this may be at least about punk in the way Xgau conceives of Red Hot + Blue: A Tribute to Cole Porter:
Although only Shane MacGowan, David Byrne, and Debbie & Iggy have ever been identified professionally with punk, only the Jungle Brothers--whose suave rap, unlike Neneh Cherry's gauche one, ignores Cole Porter altogether--would exist as we know them without it. From U2 to K.D. Lang to Sinead O'Connor, from Tom Waits to Salif Keita to the Neville Brothers, they've all built their market shares in fissures of taste and heightened expectation that punk opened up...
So one way to determine the most unpunk of the above is to determine which of them would have existed without punk. Nick Lowe maybe although one could argue that punk shaped "Cruel To Be Kind" as much as anything here. Greg Kihn and Tommy Tutone? I don't know. Was power pop its own self-sustaining/life-giving tributary? Quarterflash seems the best bet. Did xhuxk really call them punk? They seem to epitomize his theory that Fleetwood Mac influenced just as many bands as The Sex Pistols did.
In any event, fascinating commercial. Thanks for posting it, JF!

"Don't Dream It's Over" for least stylistically punk* vs Huey Lewis for least ideologically punk vs Culture Club as the moment when the biggest wave of nausea hit me during the commercial (ok, this one is an entirely personal reaction)
extra bonus points for picking the Human League's least punk track
* maybe Split Enz is a get-out-of-jail-free card for Crowded House's punk credentials, in which case, Nick Lowe?

Nope. I did include their debut in top 10 list that got published in a Spin "alternative" guide once, though.
his theory that Fleetwood Mac influenced just as many bands as The Sex Pistols did.
Not really what I said, either -- more like "bands being influenced by Fleetwood Mac is at least as interesting as bands being influenced by the Pistols." Or something like that. And Quarterflash definitely had a lot of Fleetwood Mac in them.
I've got no problem with anybody voting for them here, regardless; I might even pick them myself, if I voted, even though they're one of my favorite bands on the list. Most punk band on the list, though (give or take Devo) is probably the one who did "White Punks On Dope."
― xhuxk, Sunday, 29 April 2012 20:23 (eleven years ago) link
This reminds me a bit of Pink Panther Punk, which features kiddified versions of songs (ostensibly covered by the Pink Panther and Inspector Closeau) by punk luminaries such as Pink Floyd, Billy Joel, and Michael McDonald. It's Chipmunk Punk with about 100% less trying.
― O Aquaman (Deric W. Haircare), Sunday, 29 April 2012 20:43 (eleven years ago) link
xp At any rate, Quaterflash seem like the band on the list who had the least chance of ever having been marketed as "new wave" (or, in the case of later bands like Crowded House, Escape Club, Love & Rockets, Erasure, "modern rock" or whatever.) Greg Kihn might come close, but he came up on the proto-new-wave Beserkley label with Jonathan Richman etc., which probably counts for something, and his sound maybe got more new wave in the '80s anyway. (Plus, powerpop had obvious new wave connections -- and right, that includes Tommy Tutone, whose name sounded kind of new wave anyway, and so did their hit, which was pretty herky-jerky.)
― xhuxk, Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:00 (eleven years ago) link
INXS "modern rock" too obviously. (And actually, I have no idea how Escape Club were marketed, come to think of it. But it seems like they could have been considered modern rock, by somebody. They did come from England.)
Huey Lewis gets a new wave pass because (1) his old band backed up Elvis Costello's first album; (2) he covered Dave Edmunds on Sports; and (3) his first couple albums with the News have their Boomtown Rats-like moments (and they even seemed to be trying to look Rats-like on the cover of their first one)

The whole Quarterflash/xhuxk thing was just a joke. But I was thinking about polling xhuxk's alternative guide top 10 some time. The video for 'Harden My Heart' is a central to the early-80s pop-modernist canon inside my thin mind...
― albert rotman (loves laboured breathing), Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:44 (eleven years ago) link
On un-punk sound alone I'd vote for "Karma Chameleon" (maybe George gets a pass on sexual politics).
"Don't Dream It's Over" is my second. It's basically a hair metal or AOR ballad done beautifully right.
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:55 (eleven years ago) link
I guess "New Wave" was a poison phrase by the early 90s (and even that would've been something of a misnomer).
but the first eighties comps and eighties-themed nights were already going as early as '92!
― Exile in lolville (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 29 April 2012 21:56 (eleven years ago) link
Wow, I can't believe that commercial is real! What were they thinking?? The wigs, the phony banter, the sexism (the woman basically just says 'Yeah!' to whatever the guy says), and nary an actual punk song on the album.
Voted 'I Need a New Drug' only because Huey Lewis and the News strike me as the least 'punk' of all the artists. He even had a song called 'Hip to be Square', whose message is almost the antithesis of punk. But really any song on this album would qualify.
― agnosy, Sunday, 29 April 2012 22:03 (eleven years ago) link

Sister Paul comprise a male bassist singing in soprano and a female drummer in alto. They sing all songs together playing the each instrument in the heavy groove. The words written by Susumu have a queer and unstable feeling.

I didn't vote in this--love the commercial--but, as a couple of people suggested, the answer is so obviously Quarterflash to me. Not that I hate "Harden My Heart"--there's a song on their first LP, "Love Should Be So Kind," I like a lot--but some of these are attached to punk by a thread one millimeter thick, either via the song or the artist's family tree or the way they were marketed, and some are attached by a thread three millimeters thick, but Quarterflash has no connection whatsoever that I can see. I guess the idea of hardening your heart is a punk sentiment, but I'm not sure it's worth a distant finish behind bands with clear new wave affiliations.
