PUNK: THE COMPILATION (Which of these tracks is the most UNpunk?)

Sister Paul is seriously my new favorite band, you guys.

oh man NOT A DISAPPOINTMENT

ha no if you got Fields of the Nephilim/Mission skeletons in your closet then the Greek "Jeopardy" cover is the clear class of the field here

I was pretty sure at one point he was singing about his llama named Jeffery

Sister Paul is seriously my new favorite band, you guys.

That "Jeopardy" cover has everything. It's LONGER than the original song, it has an intro that goes on forever, it sets you up for what you think is going to be Joan Jett's "I Hate Myself For Loving You," it's got the world's worst Layne Staley impersonator . . . It's the perfect track, basically. In all of history there is none better.

this is actually kinda good & isn't punk, I'm sorry, it's just that the punk ones I found were just so exactly what you'd think and I think I've hit the wall on that shit now unfortunately. sorry for letting everybody down

re: madness, is the guy in the tracksuit a 'chav'?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's spent the last half hour watching Sister Paul youtubes

SISTER PAUL! wow

Our House... The Musical

I mean, what

man there's a lotta goth ass motherfuckers went and covered "here comes the rain again" let me tell you & also a Swedish act doing it as a bossa which I rather enjoyed however as an enthusiast of distinct vocal styles I feel this one will be hard to beat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTu1f4qpYUc

you guys, this fucking musical

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xCqKZqbqyM&feature=relmfu

oh fuck no that's the wrong one, my bad you guys, Just Joe is cool w/me this is what you want. attn djp this guy's timing will really tickle the hell out of you

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiADGMTsncw

and yeah that musical - I mean - trying to play "it must be love" for depth requires either gigantic balls or a naivete so total as to defy imagination

I am a fan of Just Joe, aka "Steroid Daughtry"

I am also a fan of Elephat Records before even hearing a note

lolling out loud at Ugly Barrow - good demonstration of why punk bands don't have fiddlers in them

oh my god

oh my god, for real

he is what we in bizness "feeling it"

er, what we in the bizness CALL "feeling it"

this performance has killed my ability to type coherently

I want to play this over and over and over

shit's inspiring

Sister Paul is seriously my new favorite band, you guys.

otm:

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. In spite of the sound they make is full of decadance, violence and insanity, some audiences laugh, others shed tears surrounding all happy atomosphere in the end.

^ ^ ^ 2:10 --> 2:19 is beyond awesome!

love how the drummer is never not going ALL IN

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

lol, i figured that i want a new drug would take it, for whatever reason, but maybe that one doesn't mean much to UK folks. it's certainly more "hard edged" than don't dream it's over, an honorable victor.

of the runners-up, i'm sort of surprised that jeopardy came in above the likes of of human and chains of love, but it's only by one vote, so fair play.

i voted for Kihn but in retrospect i would've voted for Escape Club because those guys seem the least likely to have even heard a punk band

We didn't discuss "Don't Dream It's Over" enough -- one of my unfuckwithable jams. Love everything about it.

i always figured that jeopardy was about as punk as some girls, which is to say kinda

and alfred otm

tbh i probably know the weird al version of "jeopardy" better than the original, it was just kind of a kneejerk vote

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.

mr. narrator, quarterflash is pat benatar to me, so sort of weirdly punk by association

^ to the tune of "history lesson part ii"

lol

I noticed the resemblance to Pat Benatar too when I looked at the video. Mind you, Justin Bieber sometimes looks like Darby Crash to me.

I could see that actually.
