So as a side category or could be some peoples main choice.
What was the Stranglers best PUNK record.
Mine has to be No More Heroes - still sounds as good today as when I first played it.
What a great video showing the PUNK attitude when asked to mime, **** it...
Good footage at the end cut with black and white and colour photos, of the Clash and Jimmy Persey playing White Riot to about 100,000 people at the RAR concert in Victoria Park.
For any one thats interested tonight a Live Q&A with the Director of White Riot.
The Film is showing on online Curzan at the moment, not sure if it is shown tonight for free, but says live bands will play online.

Yes Nick was a wild child back then, he still scares me a bit if I see him on the train, he moved carridge once when I was talking about Belle and Sebastian very loudly. People say he is a very nice man now.
Never got into Oi, a few odd areas that have never caught me, bands like Black Flag and Slayer past me by. Perhaps I could be persuded by a track or 2.

One of the top bands of my youth, Very good live. Played Coasters when I was into them, its where the cup final players parties took place. Still I loved the Birthday Party good shout.
Where does this fit in the canon, pre 76 and mentions punks, not punk in my mind but I always like this song.

New Dammed album - Evil Spirts. Tony Visconti personally asked to produce it. Anyone see them recently, I hope to catch them later in the year if they play locallly. I see they are doing Wembley Arena.

So two tracks I love and I class as punk because of the sound/vibe, would they make the top 40. I would vote for them but they don't fully sound full on punk, I think they are in the canon.
