If punk had begun on "Mars", it would have sounded like...

CHROME. So, any admirers? I like their broken, abrasive, Stooges-go-industrial, grinding, burning tank engine sound and weird lyrics. Half machine lip moves and Alien soundtracks (with Confusion is sex and Bad moon rising) are two most perverted masterpieces I own. And SY's Inhuman sounds to me like it was done by Chrome.
But one friend told me that I was full of shit and that this sick "punk from Mars" band I was talking about could only be Suicide or Big Black. What do you thing? Who represents the most fucked up & decadent (punk/rock) sound? For me, Chrome.

what about the band Mars? they very trashy and noisey, and the last track on MARS Live = holy hell!

Chrome is most excellent indeed, especially Half Machine and Alien Soundtracks, which I believe both still included Helios Creed. Some of the Damon Edge-led LPs are pretty good too, but those early ones are the best. Primitive, raw, very psychedelic in a completely new way for its time. They were a primary influence on a band I used to play in.

The band Mars were also pretty great, true.

Thats weird... I've just started to listen to Chrome again for the first time in about 15 years!... and was actually going to start a thread about them. My favourite album of theirs at the moment is Alien soundtracks... but that could change soon.

Agreed Mars would be a fine contender for the Punk Rock from Mars crown... also the Electric Eels, Dead C, Red Transistor or the Magik Markers.

Both Chrome and Mars were from mars themselves so i assume that is what it would sound like.
