Dead Milkmen, Dead Kennedys, and Black Flag?

 

+1 punk point for Justa.

[Justavictim82]

I like a lot of old school Punk. Black Flag(with Rollins) is probably my favorite.

I really like Iggy Pop, and have several of his albums. I do have a Dead Kennedys compilation but otherwise I mostly listen to New Wave type stuff.

Unlike moat people that like hardcore punk, I have no issue with New Wave. Talking Heads is good stuff

[Haflinger]

Talking Heads, Joy Division, The Police, prolly other people I forget.

 

I count Concrete Blonde as New Wave too. Except that they're sorta late they feel like it.

 

I listen to a lot of goth-industrial too, but the Joy Division probably tipped that off.

[Justavictim82]

Personally I find Joy Division to be overrated. I know what they meant to the genre but everyone seems to vastly overrate a band that was barely together for 4 years and cut all of 2 studio albums in a time where bands were releasing 2-3 albums a year.

I like korn or Ironmadion.The old ones.

The Dead Milkmen are like punk meets reggae.

[Haflinger]

Ian Curtis is unique though. I wonder what he'd have been like later on if he'd survived.

 

Dead Milkmen are hardcore serious punk Jor.

All I know is what my ears tell me. Punk/reggae fusion if you ask me.

[Justavictim82]

Pretty much every Punk artist has roots in another genre. Black Flag is kinda heavy-metalish(so is Joy Division, although they are also Industrial), Rancid is Ska, etc. The whole genre differentiates into different influences. It is similar to Grunge (but personally I think a bit less so) in that all of these artists are grouped together yet not one really sounds the same.

Joy Division is older than the industrial you're thinking of. They have roots in glam tho.

 

A lot of post-Killing Joke industrial is heavily influenced by Joy Division though.

Funny story: When I was a younger teenager I didn't know anything about Joy Division's music. But based on their name I got it into my head that they would be sort of Eurodisco/ABBA-esque. Boy was I surprised!

[Haflinger]

You didn't know enough WWII history.

 

(For those who don't know: They were named after the prostitute division of the Nazi armed forces.)

[ᗅᗺᗷᗅ]

Interesting. No, I'd never heard that. And I'm someone who is generally very well versed in WW2 history!
