This is actually similar to what I was trying to say (not that I was specifically thinking of the Ramones/Dead Boys angle)...

I cannot remember what "The kid with the replaceable head" sounds like, but I think I also liked that song very much.

For me the really good tracks are Blank Generation and Love Comes In Spurts.

There's no really bad tracks, but nothing else that stands out or is any way memorable.

That is a great song.

Maybe we should start by getting the Godmother of Punk's name right. It's Patti with an i. Patty Smyth was a pop Christian singer. Patti Smith, on the other hand, sang "Jesus died for somebody's sins but not mine..."

Pookie 03.26.2008 06:57 PM

The same Patti Smith who was responsible for the musical abomination that was Easter?

gmku 03.26.2008 06:58 PM

Don't pick a fight with us over Patti Smith just because you don't happen to like her. I'm not seeing the point.

"But, Rob. Oh, Rob, it's a great record. It's one of the finest of the new-wave period, edgy and yet melodic, tuneful and literate. Why, Rob, I'm surprised, frankly."

radio ethiopia was soooooo much better.
but easter had rocknroll nigger which is the greatest song she has ever recorded

gmku 03.26.2008 07:08 PM

That wasn't I who called it new wave. That was Laura Petrie. I'll talk to her.

There are certain artists/albums that are almost untouchable.

And it sometimes feels good to just say IT'S SHIT very loudly.


Well, if it makes you feel better...

Cantankerous 03.26.2008 07:09 PM

i hate it when people call the talking heads and t.v. and the voidoids new wave.

Why? Maybe it fits their definition. I don't think the space/time continuum is going to collapse or anything if people mis-categorize a few bands.
