The greatest intro to any album at any time any genre bar none...💜

[@markvickroy6725]

It's up there. This is all subjective but Good times bad times is probably best 1st song 1st album in rock Best into I give to El Gordo's Revenge 10" from mid 90s They got Dolomite to say "Ladies and gentlemens I'm Dolomite and I'm here to tell you, El Gordo's Revenge RULES baby, and I ain't lying"

[@itsafridayonceagain7192]

43 years old and still obliterates any new music with its mighty boot

[@edsa1318]

Totally agree. What a band. They get better with age ;-)

[@marinamaz9759]

same here

[@chuckabbate5924]

The pivot point LP for this band , this emerges as a record the grabs you by the lapels, Captain coming out of his funk with both guns blazing. The band firing on all cylinders

[@ryanmason74]

I'd argue Raw Power from the Stooges still hangs. And modern day, White Light, White Heat, White Trash from Social D

[@charlottesometimes1278]

Absolutely

[@foto21]

Longer lasting than the Pistols, less self-righteous than both the Clash and the Pistols, and even occasionally harder-hitting. The Damned were the cool punk rock band who still had enough brains, but a wheelbarrow of fun. They charted a course through showbiz many other bands would be smart to follow, at least in terms of attitude. They were 'blokes' just like you, not full of themselves. This entire album is a masterpiece.

[@willgibb5067]

It certainly is a piece of wonder this album....I think it's definitely their best (albeit Black Album, Strawberries and Grave Disorder challenging for that spot). A masterclass from Vanian Scabies and the Captain - and in his only LP outing foentha band Mr Algy Ward.. Turn it up to 11.

[@candideggplant1575]

Sex pistols (johnny rotten mostly) were snotty and all about being purposefully grating, but that doesn't take away from their impact and influence overall on punk and music history in general, but the damned really outdid themselves with machine gun etiquette. It blends punk with goth, verging on hardcore, but still has that old school british rock sound turned up loud. It is punk enough to not give a single damn, loud enough to rock and almost be hardcore, yet rocking enough to be a pure rock album. Really good stuff

[@lauranewberry6520]

One of the best punk bands ever but so underrated love them

[@stephencarey2354]

Why underrated?

[@seekter-kafa]

yeah, why are they underrated? as long as i am alive, they are rated all right! dont you worry about other people's music and (lack of?) taste and just keep them rated...

[@Brewzerr]

Who exactly is doing all this "rating"? Is it the same organization that slaps ratings on movies? I keep seeing all this "overrated/underrated" shit everywhere. It makes no sense.

[@lightray9573]

@@Brewzerr I believe they mean by the general public and music listeners. But I also get confused as you do because under almost everyone's favorite band I see that.

[@mattlewis1188]

Because they became crap really quickly. The first 3 albums are amazing though.

[@jonridyard6899]

I'm here to listen again to the song, the band and that bassline that blew me away sometime in 1980 - Thank you Algy Ward - RIP

Only here for Algy. Brought this when released with Algy cover. Bass line mmmm

[@robertcreighton4635]

Best love song ever. 1st dance at my wedding back in 1998 ❤

[@roblincoln8339]

As a metal head rocker, I have to say that this still one of my favourite tracks!! Saw them live in 1985 in Hammersmith Palais with Doctor & The Medics and 999 supporting Tried to spike my long hair, but four bars of soap and three cans of hairspray later, we gave up

[@alecredfearn6525]

Aqua net in the white can, teasing comb, hair dryer.

[@christianlee7349]

The greatest intro in all of rock, punk ....whatever you wish to call it. i call it mind bending

[@MartyMcFly88]

Christian lee I agree, look up “east bound and down” by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

[@Brewzerr]

I call it... "Albert"

[@isswilliam19]

nah I’m sorry I feel the same way it was so fucking crazy to my brain in a good way it’s amazing

[@charley3061]

why do the damned look like they re just four dudes who accidentally walked into a photo together

[@soda1x]

Probably were and were like "You guys want to form a band?"

[@wizfoz]

The greatest start to any album EVER!... Fact.

[@yavehsuarez9392]

One of my favorite bass intros

[@MartyMcFly88]

Listen to the cover of “East Bound and Down” by the band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

[@martinspeer262]

Still going strong ..Punk will never die!

[@wescooley34]

That bass line from algy is a killer

[@shaun57661]

RIP Algy

[@stephengowdy620]

[@MadderMel]

The Damned were and are pure theatre ! With the on stage presence , and great music to back it up !! And their sense of fun , who could ever dislike this wonderful band ?

[@salacioust6616]

This might be my favorite punk song of all-time.

[@coolercallum3601]

And love song

[@sdd78]

Rest in power algy. The damned are my favourite band. Unfortunately I didn't get to see them live till 1981 so never got to see him live. Machine gun etiquette is one of the greatest albums of all time

[@andreaneilcmc]

The Damned were the essence of mainstream punk - much more real than the Pistols.

[@Brewzerr]

"Mainstream"??? maybe the MCA era (Phantasmagoria and Anything), but definitely not this era. The mainstream didn't wanna know.

[@TaylorCarnahan-f6u]

I just discovered The Damned and it could be the best songs i've heard in my life.

[@brandonschneider3993]

I love how that chorus kinda comes out of nowhere. The higher vocals just drop to that smooth chorus.

[@linseyslocombe5225]

Have loved these guys forever!

[@shawndavis5899]

Great track that charted way before the numbing songs we have in the charts today - proper energy and lust for life - this is when bands actually wrote their own songs and played their own instruments and performed them live as well. Real respect.

[@jpmtlhead39]

The Best punk rock song made in the UK,Ever. Just Awesome.

[@NormanStansfield1]

I think this is their best song and the best line up. 43 or more years later and it is still incredible. When they came out I read an article in NME or Melody Maker that they were huge Lemmy (Motorhead & Hawkwind) fans. I think they used to almost stalk Lemmy on their scooters as he drove a Harley around London. Hilarious. Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode said Dave Vanian was his hero and emulated him. Their voices are fairly similar and more baritone. Dave V's got a great voice. No one sounds like him.

[@simonwilletts7965]

They played together motorhead and the damned called the doomed...over the top and ballroom blitz...big fans of each other

[@pervertedmind]

[@agustinavillar7765]

lpm aguante Damned

[@vortex63]

The opening spoken part is the actor Jack Howarth who famously played grumpy old man Albert Tatlock in Coronation Street from the first episode in 1960 to 1984. He didn't record the piece specially for the Damned though.Captain said they just lifted the 2 phrases 'Ladies and Gentlemen' and 'How do?' from some spoken wordr ecording Howarth had appeared on - a play I think. Brilliant as ever by the Damned - classic comedy and great music.
