Good News!

Y'all have been selected to help me formulate a Punk Playlist! Aren't you thrilled! Make suggestions, stuff that means 'punk' to you. Specific tracks are best, general bands/comments are still helpful. This will help me formulate a playlist so that I can throw down some beats before my God Save the Queen game in November. Songs with a bent toward the political or the 'busting stuff up' angle will receive precendence. Many of them may also require a shopping trip.

(PS: Blink 182 is not punk. And you're not funny.)

I'm officially ancient now so I mention Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Gaye Bikers on Acid, Buzzcocks, Boomtown Rats, Ramones, Richard Hell & The Voidoids, X-Ray Spex, The Slits, Sham 69, and Iggy Pop.

I can post you a list of everything I own, song-wise, if there's anything you want/need. (Export from iTunes to an HTML page and then give you the URL.)

Did Richard Hell do "Love Comes in Spurts"? I've been putting together a "The Good Stuff" soundtrack for Pump Up the Volume and that was one I hadn't tracked down yet.
Let's see. I used "Something's Gone Wrong Again" from the Buzzcocks, "White Riot" and "Know Your Rights" from the Clash, I have a lot of DK, I have three tracks from Sex Pistols (Friggin' in the Riggin' which I probably won't put on this list, Pretty Vacant, and Anarchy in the UK), piles of Ramones, and enough Iggy Pop to get me through this.
I have nothing from Boomtown Rats besides "I Don't Like Mondays" which I would be happy to not hear again. I have no Gaye Bikers on Acid or X-Ray Spex, or Sham 69. (:

(Yeah, he did "Love Comes In Spurts" and I can send it to you.) I'll post my list, in case you recognize something you'd forgotten about. But specific songs that came to mind from these last bands are:
Boomtown Rats - Rat Trap
Gaye Bikers on Acid - Nose Dive Karma
X-Ray Spex - Oh, Bondage, Up Yours!
Sham 69 - If The Kids Are United
