I don't know, maybe I gave up on them too soon, I was attracted by the radicalism, Crass were "the real thing" whilst Pistols and the Clash "sold out", but it all sounded as if the creative process went like this: there were new lyrics written and whoever in the collective was there that day, provided some improvised musical accompaniment, along the similar lines as before.

At the time, I was already into early Laibach, Neubauten, Swans, later into Test Dept and it all sounded musically much more exciting and new, whilst equally "edgy" and radical.  

I get this totally. Crass were also fucking hippies.

Speak for yourself tone I've got a big bet on who wins this, Im staking  my 1997 christmas shoot album, with Kevin Keegan on the cover (before he smashed his face in falling off a push bike on superstars). Oasis to win the tournament. High Flying birds second, Beady Eye third. 

Repped. The Superstars accident was before the annual (1977?) though, wasn’t it?

Crass were the reason I started listening to John Denver.

 

Punk cred is one thing. Musical talent is another. But, my god, when they collide...

Ah fuck man, I love Minutemen.

If this whole thing gets anyone listening to Entertainment by Gang Of Four or Double Nickels On The Dime by Minutemen it's all been worth it.

It won't. But absolutely two of the greatest albums of all time...
