Remember? I don't, because I wasn't born, but yeah. They rule. The first band to be described as 'punk'.

Danny Himself · 03.20.2007, 12:59 PM

Yeah, exactly.

Get the Nuggets compilations and be done with it.Everything you need to know about punk and garage is there for the taking, regardless of who got there first.

From Wikipedia: "The group's name provided inspiration for naming a new branch of the philosophy of mind (New Mysterianism)."

LOL

lester used to describe the seeds, ? mark, the count five, etc. as punk. when in '76, people started to ask him for quotes about the new genre punk, he thought they were referring to garage bands of the 60's.

Well, they aren't and that's because Allen Klein refuses to give permission to reissue any of the original recordings and refused '96 Tears' to be included on the Nuggets compilations or the box set. Still, they remain one of those bands that easily should be on them.

see what you guys think...

the video is crummy cos there is no original so somebody put together a slide show. but being from 1964, this even precedes the sonics' "strychnine"...

(the lyrics btw talk about tearing up/demolishing the train station, ha ha)

dazedcola · 03.21.2007, 11:44 AM

I'd say the Sonics from seattle were the first punk like band, way more so than question mark.

!@#$%! · 03.21.2007, 12:29 PM

what i linked aint question mark

Cantankerous · 03.21.2007, 12:36 PM

i love ? and the mysterians.
recently ?'s house burned down.

I HATE THE SONICS!!!

Danny Himself · 03.21.2007, 02:58 PM

The Sonics were actually from Tacoma, not Seattle.

It's sad that ?'s house burned down. All his pets died.

HaydenAsche · 03.21.2007, 05:50 PM

I wanna cry 69 tears.

Danny Himself · 03.21.2007, 06:27 PM

69 Tears was an early title.

Cantankerous · 03.21.2007, 10:51 PM

didn't the record company get pissed and make them change it to 96 tears because they thought they meant 69 as in oral sex?
