A superb summary of The Undertones' career
The best songs on this CD are Jimmy Jimmy, My Perfect Cousin and the
superb Teenage Kicks, which as the late John Peel said is probably the
best pop song ever written.
The Undertones showed that punk wasn't just about thrashing and
spitting - they wrote and played good tunes and knew how long a song...

Best ever Singles band
Growing up in the late 70's and early 80's the Jam were my Beatles.
The Greatest Hits package is a great place to start with, as the Jam
were really a great Singles band.
When the first Greatest Hits package (called SNAP!)was released back in
1983, it came with a large volume of standout album tracks.. |

The Sex Pistols' only proper album has become one of those records that
is far more talked and written about than listened to. Only a handful of
rock & roll bands can genuinely claim to have changed the world, and
only one of those can claim to have done it with such a tiny discography

Perfect
Trying to pick one or two stand out tracks would be an exercise in
futility as the entire album is outstanding. Containing their best
selling single, "At The Edge", Nobody's Heroes is possibly one of the
best Punk albums ever made. |

The Stranglers were early labelled as "punk", but, while they were never
short of vitriol and aggression, they were more properly a
quintessentially New Wave band. Years of gigging together meant they
were exceptionally tight and technically competent from the start, with
Dave Greenfield's almost... |

Compared to their live performances this is debut studio album is
something of a dissapointment. The Ramones were excellent live playing
fantastic tuneful bursts of total noise. Somehow they couldn't transfer

In 1972, when rock & roll was all but dead in Manhattan, five

More interested in social comment than political confrontation, the Jam

After releasing The Stooges and Fun House--two LPs of

with the encouragement of David Bowie to produce Raw Power. If,

the opposite. As a songwriter, Paul Weller was never content to rest on
his laurels, quickly moving from youthful gestures of defiance ("In The

As a big big Banshees fan, this album is one I return to time and time

'goth' tag, as the sound (as on so much of their other stuff)goes
unrivalled by their contemporaries.

The Buzzcocks were proud proponents of late-1970s punk rock, with a name

(both of which appear on this singles collection) . But in retrospect,
it's easier to see what else they accomplished--some of the catchiest,

Great reissue of extremely influential LP from 1979...
The post-punk era remains one of most fertile periods in pop music- The
Sex Pistols kickstarted it all...but were about as inventive musically
as Eddie Cochran. But soon the music would catch up with the progressive
epiphanies of punk- the influence of dub/reggae (see Don Letts recent

Classic
The Stranglers were one of the bands that rode the punk revolution to
success without ever being truly a punk band. They were much too good to
be pigeonholed so easily.
The Stranglers were famous for their musicianship (JJ Burnel's
fantastic baselines inspired a generation of schoolboy base players),...

Classic British Album
This is Wires most accomplished record and therefore the one that anyone
new to the band should think about first. In fact: just buy it - This
album stands alongside the likes of Closer and The Holy Bible as one of
the 20th centurys great cult rock records.
