heat ty for sharing

Yo @safe is there a way for us to prevent new users saying random weird s*** like this itt?

Didnt even know this was a thread

A documentary about the first official punk band (was established before the Ramones) named Death. So ahead of their time they weren't appreciated until decades later.

White America so shook punk came from a couple Detroit niggas.

They were formed in 71 but the stooges and mc5 were doing punk before that

"Rock critics in the early 70's have labelled mid-60's garage bands such as the Stooges and MC5 as "punk rock" but now those bands are known simply as garage rock or protopunk."

Big influence for Bob Dylan, you'll hear him in his lyrics

mfw Yasiin Bey summed up the history of rock and roll in 5 minutes better than most music historians do in an hour.

Elvis Presley ain't got no soul
Bo Diddley is rock and roll (damn right)

trailer for a brilliant compilation of the blues, compiled by the rolling stones

Heavy Bootsy influence lol

theyre a cool band, but calling them the "first official punk band" is a bit of a stretch and definitely some revisionist history. Death is considered proto punk along with those other similar Detroit bands, there's really nothing that makes them more "official punk" than those. punk didn't "come from" a band that was unknown at the time, we can give them their credit and appreciate them without exaggerating

not trying to derail the thread or anything. Bad Brains is another really cool and super influential black punk band

also notable for including straight up hardcore punk on the same album as reggae/dub songs, i don't think there are any other artists who ever tried that or could pull off both on that level

Report them
