Punk Performers & Theories Of Ideology ('Punk Mass' 1970 - )

Actually, now you mention it, I do recall every time I used to see the Undertones' song 'Teenage Kicks' come up in British punk articles, John Peel seemed to get mentioned.

I like the Fall. I think their albums from the late 1970s through late 1980s all have their moments. I also like the group Adult Net, Brix Smith's musical collective that included three former members of the Smiths (Mike Joyce, Andy Rourke & Craig Gannon) within its ranks.

I tried to be brutally honest in what I wrote regarding the Smiths. I included a bass cover and an instrumental version of a song they'd released with good reason. I always enjoy their music and 'The Queen Is Dead' (1986) is one of my favourite albums for that reason. In particular, the playing of Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke. I just never liked Morrissey. I don't like his "la-de-da" bits, his sneering intonation makes my skin crawl, he sometimes gets too "clever-clever" and I've never found him to be half as witty as some people do. Sometimes, I'm just not in the mood to listen to the Smiths because I can't hack Morrissey.
