Buried somewhere in this mess is a cute little pop song. Kinda like if The Sweet and The Gories got together for a jam session in Jon Spencer's garage, or something....

That could definitely be a Bay City Rollers song with the right production and arrangement.

These are two punk songs that I always thought with just tweaking the lyrics they could have been made into pop hits

The acoustic version of When the Shit Hits the Fan (from Repo Man) is also pretty cool.

Sham 69 was huge in the UK. If the Kids Are United reached #9 in the UK charts. Here's the "live" version from Top of the Pops.



Here's another one from Sham 69, Borstal Breakout (a borstal was a youth prison in the UK).

I lived in SoCal when punk hit the scene and I listened to a lot of Dead Kennedys, Social Distrotion, Black Flack, Suicidal Tendencies, Bad Brains, Angry Samoans and I imagine a few that I've forgotten. It wasn't until later that I went back and revisted English punk and some east coast punk bands like the Misfits and Agnostic Front.

Here's "Gasoline" from the Black Owls, a band from Granville, Ohio. I can't understand why this didn't become a hit in the "post-grunge-alt-garage-hardrock" genre....

I remember going home and visiting my brother in late 1992 and he was into all the latest grunge/metal bands. We'd smoke a little weed and play Streetfighter on supernintendo, this sounds like something he would've been into, has an early punk sound with a touch of early 90's grunge
