Their vocalist is decent at best, I don't really care about the lyrics as that's not my thing (and did they even write those lyrics or did the Pere Ubu guys write them?), but absolutely not do they have the better anthems.

Radio Birdman have the better album overall sure
Duh.

Dead Boys are a Stooges rip-off and nothing else. Radio Birdman are Stooges inspired.

All the bands you’re mentioning our great but none of that subtracts anything from the Dead Boys. Like elph is saying they’re a definitive punk band. You really don’t have to compare everything to The Stooges.

As far as I can tell they're definitive because they're historical. They were a famous CBGB's band when Rocket from the Tombs and Pere Ubu were almost unknown so they got an unfair share of those bands' hype for songs they didn't necessarily even write. I mean they sound fine and kick some ass but not so much that they deserve anything more than historical footnote status.

because in reality they're pretty iconic, and definitive of Punk Rock

I mean that's fine. Whatever. But when I listen to them I think I could be listening to the Stooges or the Clash or the Sex Pistols or some other band with more personality. I'm sorry but they don't hold up. Ya'll can wax nostalgic about whatever but Dead Boys are overrated.

I mean maybe if they weren't a relatively tepid contemporary of all the bands who actually blew up and are currently beloved while Dead Boys are reduced to this thread.

And you probably care about as much as I do for real.

Klaus Nomi died in 1983 at the age of 39. He release two album ('81, '82) and a third album was release posthumously in '07. There are a half dozen or so videos of him performing.

Klaus Nomi performing The Cold Song by Henry Purcell and 60s hit by Lou Christie "Lightnin' Strikes" (written by Christie and Twyla Herbert).
