The Members - Solitary Confinement

I have the Stiff Records version of this song on a Best of Punk compilation CD. But here's another version:

The Kinks - Living on a Thin Line

The Kinks made some of the best rock and roll songs of all time. Here's yet another example:



Tell me now, what are we supposed to do?

Starcrawler on Joney's Jukebox

One of my favorites, with one of my favorites speaking to them before they play:

J-Ska? - HEY-SMITH - "Let it Punk"

I was listening to some Hi-Standard and Ken Yokoyama the other day and this popped up in my recommended videos on Youtube:



Japanese ska-punk? How is it that I'm only just now aware of these guys?

The Buzzcocks - Even Fallen in Love? + Orgasm Addict

Sadly we lost Pete Shelley today, of the amazing and unique Buzzcocks.

Here are two of my favorites, if I can somehow narrow it down. The first could be their best song, and they wrote a lot of great songs. The second is the first one I ever heard, and it hooked me hard.

Sex Pistols - Soundcheck at Winterland

Wow, the internet has everything:



Probably for Pistols completionists only - like me - but it's very cool.

AC/DC - Who Made Who

AC/DC is as pure rock and roll as you can get.

I loved this song from the first time I heard it, right around when the movie "Maximum Overdrive" came out. I liked the album it was on, though it was pretty much a greatest hits + extras album. It was a great listen.



I like the 80s Dr. Who level production quality on the video, here. Those guys could have confronted in a lost episode with Tom Baker. Maybe "Dr. Who and the Power Chord."
