Title: No Thanks! 70's Punk Rebellion Collection Post by: Lord Nepenthean on August 25, 2005, 08:15:34 AM I've always liked punk a lot but didn't grow up around it or around people who knew much about the genre. So, I have never been very knowledgeable about the stuff, and still am not. When I heard a couple years ago about the "No Thanks!" collection, I really wanted to check it out. Until a few days ago it completely slipped my mind.
I've only listened to the first disc (of four) so far, but it is a great collection from what I have heard. I have no clue if the track list (below) is comprehensive of the 70's punk scene, but it is good from what little I know. Of course the obvious omission is The Sex Pistols, but I remember reading that whoever is in charge of their intellectual properties now refused to let their stuff be in this collection as some sort of protest. That's okay though, because everyone already has their album. Anyway, check this out.

I think most of it is crap, but there are some songs on it that made me (re)discover several great bands like the buzzcocks, X, Joy Division, the Jam, the rich kids etc.
Mike, remember when montsh ago I sent you a whole load of songs? (and Anthony too), I believe most of those came from this set. Title: Re: No Thanks! 70's Punk Rebellion Collection Post by: SFS on August 25, 2005, 10:03:09 AM Well, that is because Cincinnati has horrible punk scene. And what little punk scene it has is littered with assholes and “indie†music. But I guess I'm not as “into†guitars that much anymore.
Some of the stuff I would be hard pressed to call punk. Sure, some of it is post punk and [number] wave, but whatever. Also they seemed to have left out protopunk, but no compilation is perfect. You also might want to check out Cock Sparrer, Subhumans, Sloppy Seconds, Leftover Crack and The Screeching Weasels and Velvet Underground P.S. The reason the Sex Pistols were not on there is because everyone knows that the only reason they were started was to sell bondage pants. ;) P.P.S. guitars suck. P.P.P.S. this makes me sad http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/08/22/moog.obit.ap/ R.I.P :tear: Title: Re: No Thanks! 70's Punk Rebellion Collection Post by: den68 on August 25, 2005, 11:51:42 AM lot of good tunes on those discs.
here's my punk compilation. these include the 80's and up to maybe 1991 when these mix tapes were made. Title: Re: No Thanks! 70's Punk Rebellion Collection Post by: den68 on August 25, 2005, 11:54:42 AM bonus points to whoever knows what tune "Daddy likes men" is from.

Did you record those tapes song by song, or did you copy it from another compilation? Title: Re: No Thanks! 70's Punk Rebellion Collection Post by: den68 on August 25, 2005, 12:27:45 PM I got them from a friend but they we're recorded song by song.
