Music Challenge – 25 days, 25 songs – Days 8 and 9 continued

Carrying on with @jokossita’s music challenge that I came across on a post by @ravenruis. My last post focused on my talented friends. The themes for these two days go back in time to the late 70’s.

If you checked out my last post, you will remember that my walk down memory lane took me to my favourite punk and new wave artists.

But there were too many for one post, so let’s carry on. I want to see you all leaping about energetically!

Let’s start with an iconic punk band. You don’t get more punk than the Sex Pistols. While some of the bands I’m sharing don’t sound that heavy to me now, the Pistols were 100% punk and of their time. Not something I would listen to a lot, but I rather like the rawness.

I was also rather fond of Shot by Both Sides by Magazine.

This is a little lighter – Airport by The Motors

This collection wouldn’t be complete without a little bit of XTC - Are You Receiving Me?

I don’t think we’ve had any women yet, but women became a much bigger part of the rock scene in this era. Patti Smith was known as the "punk poet laureate". Her most widely known song is "Because the Night", which was co-written with Bruce Springsteen.

Do any of you date back to the punk era? What were your favourites?

Thanks for reading and listening
