MetaChat Radio. Radio_Replica: Older punk stuff. Starts at 9:15 for about 1-1/2 hrs. Ramones to Discharge. Uh huh. Pogo or GFO.
If I had an audio player here, I surely would. I'm musically jonesing, too, since we've got some software on the box at home that's not playing nice with winamp. Grrrr...
Excellent! It'll still be on.

mullacc - hey, thanks for tuning in. Yeah, I like them too. i ignore the "emo" tag they get and take them for what they are. Like Rancid. I like the uncompromising honesty in the songs.
They were tagged as emo? That's news to me. They're clearly just a Ramones knock-off like the Queers and most of the Lookout! Records '90s line-up. Ben Weasel's sideproject, The Riverdales, was the most explicit Ramones rip-off ever--and pretty good too, I thought.
Emo. Yeah, because they talked about feelings, or something. *bleah* Stupid labels. Regardless, they, the Queers et al. kick bum.
btw, it's the hardcore home stretch.
GBH - liked that there were pic from this era that showed GBH with Motorhead tshirts, and vice-versa. Of course, Motorhead always said that they were more punk than metal. Yah!

But isn't it a bit of a stretch to call the Boomtown Rats "punk"?
Well, there was always that snotty, pop kind of punk that included Elvis Costello, Joe Jackson, and the Clash. I think the Boomtown Rats fit into that.
