The last Punks Play Stones post got some good responses, so here's another set with many of the suggestions received from andreyud, J in Europe, and Richard (plus my leftovers from the first volume). Koen provided the delectable cover image at left.
This set ventures beyond the first decade of punk, as well as outside the standard definition of punk as a genre. There are some OG's here (Richard Hell, Joe Strummer, The Damned, Chelsea, UK Subs) and some LA punks (TSOL, Mad Parade, Social Distortion, Redd Kross). There's also some power pop from The Records and Tommy Keene, some great bands from the Nineties and the Oughties, and some old folkies what once were punks (Mekons and Nikki Sudden).
Speaking of the mighty Mekons, those loveable lads and lasses from Leeds are touring the US next month to promote their new album Horror. Jon Langford, Tom Greenhalgh, Sally Timms, Lu Edmonds, Susie Honeyman, Rico Bell, Steve Goulding and Dave Trumfio are the current Mekons.
It's been a few weeks since any triple song titles have been posted here, so here's Lies Lies Lies -- a set of 30+ punk triples for anyone who hasn't gotten all their ya ya ya's out. Bon appetit!

Thanks to everyone who suggested a Stones cover or a triple song title. And thanks to Koen for the pierced lips logo!
Thanks
ReplyDeleteTracklist?
ReplyDeleteI stopped posting tracklists after I started using Pixeldrain as a file host. I guess I could go back to posting them on the blog, if people want a preview.
DeleteClick on the Pixeldrain link and you'll see a list of the song titles (but not the artists). if you're not sure whether you want to download the entire zip file, you can DL a small jpg of the tracklist (it's usually the file at the bottom of the page).
Punks play The Stones? Who could ask for anything more?!
ReplyDeleteAnother great cover compilation, thanks Jonder!
ReplyDeleteHow about a Punks do The Who, and The Kinks compilation? Apart from The Velvet Underground, these bands must be the most covered by 77 punk bands.
ReplyDeleteI think you're probably right, David Watts! Covering the Stooges or the Velvets seemed to be mandatory. After that would certainly be the Kinks, the Who and the Stones. I did assemble some of them here, but there are definitely more: https://jonderblog.blogspot.com/search/label/Steppingstones
