The UK Subs are such a cliched cartoon version of punk. I saw them on TOTP 1979 recently i'd forgotten how bad they were. All leather jackets and safety pins it looked like the sort of piss take on punk you'd see in a Benny Hill or Two Ronnies sketch. Punk wasn't for men in there mid thirties with bouffant barnets.

Good live band, made a few decent tunes but if TOTP is your window to the world then what the fock do you know?

There's always one, isn't there.

Everyone else who's so far contributed to this thread has done so in a spirit of tolerance towards other people's musical taste. But not you. You zoom in on a band that YOU don't like, that YOU think is crap, indicating your belief that your opinion is that much more important than anyone else's.

I'm not a massive fan of the UK Subs; I used to have diminished responsibility on red vynil way back when, and nowadays I've got a compilation that I dig out now and again. As for their music, the obvious one is Party In Paris. Other highlights include Down On The Farm, Fear of GIrls, and this one, which I referred to previously:



 
No offence meant squire. Just thought they didn't make authentic punks likewise Sham 69.

 
Fair enough, none taken.

Why not try contributing to the thread by putting your own list together.

I would have the same problem as everyone else and forget something or someone. It's a bit like a wedding list. But i will try soon. Favourite group at the moment are the Sleaford Mods. They are raw and totally different by today's standards.


 
No pressure, take your time.

I listened to the above. Never heard of them before; on first impression I think I prefer John Cooper Clarke. Each to his own and all that.

Your bang on JCC and early Fall and a bit of Half Man Half Biscuit. Checkout Tweet Tweet Tweet and Jobseeker by the Sleafords.

Sorry to have to tell you this, but your stuck with the Na Na's... for the rest of your life! 

But seriously, or thereabouts. The word "current" in the topic title indicates that you can post as many lists as you like. You can also include as many or as few bands/artists from previous lists as you want. You can also combine closely related bands and artists. For instance, The Jam/Style Council/Paul Weller, and Rory Gallagher/Taste, as I did in my list.

And so the consolation is that you haven't actually forgotten Led Zep, you've merely managed to overlook them the first time round.
