Yep, 62 here, completely agree. Fantastic album, and these tracks are stunning - especially the slide between Parts 1 snd 2 and that epic key/tempo change, plus the chord sequence in the chorus. Almost like being nibbled to death by an Okapi! even ;-)

Good man Back when Napster was gonna get wrecked. I spent a weekend uploading Magazine, the Buzzcocks, Dury, Johna Lewie Can, Holger ENO...etc. He had smash it up but had never actually listened to it. He loved and I mean loved this song. Nice thing when your musical Jesuit finds something he missed. It is greater than great.

Survive brother, I made it to 56, pills, drugs, alcohol, the works, I can still stand up, it's painful, but I can. I saw The Damned by mistake. Local festival 'thing'. I think it became a career, I think they tried to hard. The goth-big hair shit was a disaster. Eloise? Awful. Keep safe. x

So glad I had an older brother, he put me onto this when I was 11 and fell in love. This was Amsterdam in 2003, I caught the nearest tram line to "Independent Outlet" (Skate shop/Record store) as soon as I could and grabbed Machine Gun Etiquette, The Damned BBC Sessions and Damned Damned Damned. Of course I moved back to Minneapolis when I was 13 and none of my friends knew about The Damned or Subhumans or even The Misfits really. Ahh, the sad reality of life in a suburban bubble.
@foto21 Жыл бұрын
The 'A Day in the Life' of punk rock. Ridiculously underrated at least by the mainstream. I don't know what else anyone could want from a song. Still only barely over 5 mins with a beautiful slow guitar and bass introduction. For punk rock, it sure starts out like a late 60s melodic song, then turns into punk song. The end is hilarious. This was one of those bands that was pure talent and intent. The way their songs are put together are not quite 100% happenstance, but planning won't get you there. This is a band living its life, not calculating. It's why the energy comes through so effortlessly.

The Damned are legendary imo. This was one of the first punk bands I heard as a kid. My mom loved their cover of Alone Again Or and I grew up as the internet started to blossom. I was always eager to look things up and absorb information so this band sent me down a musical rabbit hole. This band had such an impact on me. As far as I can tell, this was one of the first poppy punk bands ever. They'll always have a special place in my heart

The guy who took me to the gig for my birthday died a few days later in a car crash so it was even more personal for me. Personally I am glad it was these guys who were creditted with THE FIRST punk single.
