| Buzzcocks: Overrated, underrated, or respected juuuust right? |
|
Hey, gang.
I bought me a Buzzcocks compilation for cheap today. One of the many bands I didn't get around to listening to in my earlier days. But hell, the CD was $2.88, so I took a chance.
My first impression is that they're a little more creative than their contemporaries, but at other times it's hard to tell if they're a whole lot different from some of the Monkees' songs.
So what's the consensus? Opinions on best songs, worst songs? Anything else you'd like to add, you in the back?

| 1. No feelings on the matter, just hated seeing you with 0 replies, so |

I'm kicking it to the top in case someone does have an opinion.

I hope you never have to experience firsthand the great pain that accompanies a post without a response.
Cheers!

As you can see, though, your efforts have borne fruit. Or something.
Thanks again! *snif*

| 4. I (heart) the Buzzcocks!!!!!! |

Please go listen to Orgasm Addict 10 or 20 times at top volume and report back! :evilgrin:
Seriously, though, I don't get the Monkees comparison? Do we, like, own the same CD's or what? I mean, IMO, Monkees = not punk? :shrug:

Orgasm Addict isn't on this compilation! ("I Don't Mind the Buzzcocks"). However I do recall that I've heard it once or twice.
The Monkees comparison I think is from my impression of "I Don't Mind".
I remember earlier today that I was quite liking "Moving Away From the Pulsebeat".
ON EDIT: Monkees not punk? Sex Pistols covered Stepping Stone, and didn't change it a whole lot.

| 11. Well, just that one song. |
|
I mean, Neil Diamond wrote for them, and HE duetted with Barbra Streisand!
Wow, only three degrees of separation between Barbra Streisand and the Sex Pistols!!!!
