Those Can-esque numbers at least showed where Pete was looking (while Diggle was perfecting his Townshend windmilling) though, and that last handful of singles that Hannett produced for them different again. By the by, I'd have loved to have seen the results of Hannett producing an album with them. [And a Hannett-produced Nico LP, based on that single he produced for her, but that's another story]<br /><br />ROTGS - well, I liked it when I was young, and I still like it now as an old person. Who knows? I've always wondered what they would have done for a 3rd album (had they stayed together, I mean, I'm not referring to Trapped Animal!)<br /><br />Back on the subject of The Damned (I'm rambling, I know)... they may have fallen foul of the 'punk band shite 2nd album' curse, but 'Machine Gun Etiquette' >>>>>> 'Damned Damned Damned', and then they veered away from punk somewhat with the Black Album and Strawberries, both of which I love to this day.<br />Slackernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-6311100091055358122022-10-02T10:38:19.783+02:002022-10-02T10:38:19.783+02:00Although i do need my ears syringed.Although i do need my ears syringed.Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-15749897633134311532022-10-02T10:16:39.255+02:002022-10-02T10:16:39.255+02:00Yeah i do think the Buzzcocks third is the same as...Yeah i do think the Buzzcocks third is the same as the other two LPs,just a couple of long version of You Doo Right with shellian lyrics......oh and a couple of really shite Diggle numbers.

I dunno, maybe. Anyway, post-punk were the more clever punks going back to their art rock roots. Lydon, as you pointed out, loved Van Der Graff Generator and Levine supposedly roadie for Yes and Wire were about as art school as you could get.

Obviously inspired by glam more than the MC ducking 5,they were a joke taken far too seriously by the Bohemian set in downtown NYC. I can't recall anyone walking around looking like the Ramones anywhere...ever!?....also, i bought a heavy vinyl version of the first album and was amazed that this was ever regarded as 'Fast'...that means ELP must have played at funeral pace? They said nothing,a fun band like the Damned...but slower, Nah, the Ramones were boring and sadly a lot of 2nd wave punks took the music as a template...but noticeably not the look....protopunk, like the runaways were.<br />Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-8103123881999720482022-09-27T03:00:38.112+02:002022-09-27T03:00:38.112+02:00Ramones: We're in a rut.
