It's the perfect jumping off point for post-punk. It sounds like a "real" punk band taking a flying leap off that diving board with confidence and vision. So yeah it's definitely a ****ing punk album even by the standard definition afaic.

OMG how did I forget about that amazing album? Elph can bitch all he wants about "pop punk" as a term but it describes that album perfectly. A lot of what I associate with pure pop is the exploration of the all-encompassing, maximalistic hook, and Singles Going Steady hits me as hard in that way as Ke$ha, Britney Spears, or Madonna do.

I think I only listened to them once and thought they sounded like a slowed down Ramones (and I love when the Ramones slow down) and really dug them.

I'm not declaring the first two as Punk band. However I think they are important in my book. The Dictators were on of the first bands that had that sound, and being a drummer you might like the cover of California Sun. Simply Saucer were a band that almost fell into total obscurity. They have a style somewhere between Garage and Punk in sound.

The Dictators Go Girl Crazy! (1975)

Simply Saucer - Cyborgs Revisited


more hardcore:

Gang Green - Preschool
*collection of early tracks (1981-1983)

SS Decontrol - The Kids Will Have Their Say 1982

Agnostic Front - Victim in Pain (1984)

Holy crap. You all don't disappoint.

I'm going to start by listening to "Swell Maps" because the name is odd. I always gravitate towards odd.

Then you need Pere Ubu in your life on name alone. From the same Ohio scene as Devo and also oddball as ****. Maybe more punk but also more weird.

Isn't Pere Ubu a Sushi restaurant in Marseille?

I'll check that dictionary, but in the meantime I'm impressed - as is everyone else in the world - by your eloquence, obvious accomplishments and success, and the evidence of your blazingly high intelligence.

**** yes. I'll probably check out a few of those myself. I've basically been heavy on 60s/70s rock for the past year or so while shedding a lot of the classic rock stuff I listened to when I was younger without having the proper old school art rock education to replace those bands I've dropped.
