I'm Stranded by the Saints was released in September 1976, New Rose by the Damned in October 1976 and The Ramones by the Ramones in April 1976 - Aust, UK & US. Then on top of that you had Radio Birdman who were 60's garage punk but are now regarded as a 70s punk band, who released their first piece of music in 1975! EPs weren't just 7" singles, they also came as 10" (JMC used to love to release them) and 12" 45rpms. If you look at it with CDs, they still release EPs and LPs, it is based on tracks not speed. I have a Procol Harum single that is a 2 track 7" 33rpm single. And what about the split EP 7" 45rpm single track one side and 2 tracks at 33rpm on the other. More than two tracks, less than 8. So what is it then an EP or a single? Lastly the Ramones LPs are an example of how track numbers define an LP, they had 12" 33rpm releases that ran for half the duration as other bands at the time and yet they were still LPs becasue they 12 plus tracks on them.

The Ramones though a massive influence on punk and a band who were adopted by punk or more accurately new wave, saw themselves as a garage band. And lets face it the Saints were from Australia.......

They could play their instruments and their influences were r'n'b (not that shite we suffer now) and reggae/ska. Topper Headon also played in shite 60s bands and was 10 years older than those of the "punk" movement. How about the Buzzcocks? How about the Cure's 1st release? New Wave didn't exist as a musical movement in 1977. So was the music punk or a garage band. Punk wasn't just a UK thing as I said before. Know your product was the best song that the Saints wrote but I'm stranded was impressive as well. Edited February 21, 2006 by sammynb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is impossible to look back and pinpoint the first "punk" release now. What would you choose MC5? Iggy and the Stooges? New York Dolls? etc. At the time the Damned single was considered the first release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't misunderstand your point but was pointing out that the questions answers which I gave are those recognised by the music "world" and not just the UK. And hence in many ways it is a trick and ambiguous question. The one fault in your arguement Bob about the Ramones being a "garage band" is in the title of their songs: Judy was a (what?) Sheena is a (what) rocker? They knew exactly what punk was and they were part of it. You didn't need a mohawk or to carve words in your chest to be punk. Have you ever seen the doco on the Ramones?

Awesome film and quite hard to watch when you know they have all passed on. I watched The Clash - Westway to the World the other night and it made me quite sad to think that Joe Strummer is gone. Yes we just arging semantics, so I suggest that if toonraider uses the question she should except one of the 3 answers depending on the nationality of the quiz answeree.

sammynb 2929 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 (edited) SpongeBob have you seen a doco called Attitude: Punk? It was on television here last night and after our conversation yesterday I had to watch it. With the exception of Australian music it covered the discussion we had to the letter. From Richard Hell being credited with the punk look. In 1975 Malcolm Mclaren saw him play in New York at CBGBs and took it back to London and started the shop. Ramones credited with the trash punk sound - Mick Jones is interviewed and states how they were in awe. It was quite funny watching all these UK punk icons credit MC5, The Stooges, New York Dolls, Richard Hell and the Voids, The Dictators, Television and The Ramones as the start of the sound. The saddest thing was seeing Souxie as an over weight, old goth (still dressed in balck, white make-up, black lips. I amost cried. She was so gorgeous and every goth/punk boys fantasy. If you can make sure you see it. Edit: And I forgot J69 there was a whole bunch of interviews with Rollins, the original singer from Black Flag/circle jerks, bad brains, Jello Biafra and a host of others talking about how the straight edge movement was such a joke to punk and it's development.

I though it was a well know fact she actually wasn't a tart and that's what made it all the more ridiculous! Anyway not my music and thus I have a bad attitude to it and can't answer the question especially when you say australia has a tarnished reputation, everyone knows were just to busy with mardi gras to polish the silver.
