No punk band did a better job of returning rock music to its radio single roots than did Blondie:

Blondie - Denis

Blondie - One way or another

Blondie - Dreaming

Blondie - Sunday Girl 1979

Blondie - Atomic

Old post, but I couldn't agree more. Pixies, Killing (plus Joy Division, Bauhaus, Einsturzende Neubauten, etc.). This is my personal favorite subgenre of punk/ experimental music.
That said, Nick Cave is my absolute, all-time favorite music maker (bar none). His first record (Boys Next Door - Door, Door) celebrates it's 40th anniversary this year. Whether it's Birthday Party, Bad Seeds, Grinderman or his dozen or more movie soundtracks...he always delivers. Excluding his numerous instrumental soundtracks, I have all his albums on vinyl. Every single one is unique and different. His latest album, 'Skeleton Tree" is the only album to literally bring me to tears. It's a monument to loss and grief that was released a few months after my father died. I didn't get it upon release, but then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Incredible career that keeps on giving.

Btw, Hep, I hadn't read the earlier posts on this thread...you do have punk cred. I think we just disagree on the best Pistols songs. My profound apologies. I really am an a-hole (not that there was really ever any doubt). Sorry, man.

Hepcat · July 12, 2019, 06:56:13 PM

No problems. We can always disagree on whose well springs of creativity ran deepest back in the day. After all, we both most assuredly agree that there was much more variety and creativity in music back before the mid-eighties then there has been since 2000!

Mord · July 12, 2019, 07:04:00 PM

True dat (as the children say). Hey, I think we agree about hip hop, right?

That was never in doubt. I'm older than you, so mine started in my junior year in high school. That year (1973), I almost lived at the Whisky a Go Go. The Stooges, N.Y. Dolls, Suzi Quatro, etc. I saw Bowie in '72, and that made everything else seem boring. He mentioned how his fave band was The Velvet Underground. I went to my favorite music store and bought their first album and "Loaded". That was it.They became MY favorite band. Everything changed that year. Then came 1977....

Mord. You are very lucky to experience that era of music. I assume it was magical. I grew in the 70s and 80s, which also produced so many fantastic music and bands. However....I was too young to experience the Golden era of the 70s. Alice Cooper, KISS , Bowie, Slade, The Sweet, TRex, Elton, Queen....etc.
