RHINO ROCK BOX disc 6 No Thanks! The '70's Punk Rebellion


Disc 6 of the Rhino Rock Box is No Thanks! The 70's Punk Rebellion set.. A little note about this set of music: This was the first complete set of a box set that was acquired by way of the internet and one of those file sharing sites that were very popular a few years back.. The site was (is) called Multiply and I got quite  bit of music from that site.. This was one of them and there was something missing from this set that can't be replaced.  The booklet, which every other set has a booklet or in the case of the British Invasion and the Frat Rock sets they had each disc with a booklet to tell the origins of the songs/groups and production.. The little things that make a set like this.. Now about the content of the box set.. Punk was a movement that I never got that heavily into.. I was into the groups that punk was opposed to.. The long songs that groups were performing was the anti punk motive.. They prided themselves on getting the song out there and moving on.. Groups like the Ramones prided themselves on the fact that you could open the record and crank the thing playing every song and put the album back in it's sleeve before the cops got to your house from the neighbors complaining of the noise.. I liked a few of the groups but not many.. There was an attraction over time for me.. I got several of the Ramones discs.. Thought they were very much worth the listen.. So here without any further adew dew doe or  due a due adue a.. Anyway here .. On with the entry.. No Thanks!

Was there any question as to how this entry should start??  The Ramones and the anthem Blitzkrieg Bop     HEY HO   LET'S GO!!! 

The Jam with In The City.. The Jam was another of the bands I got into not knowing they were a punk band in their time.. Not bad music though..

The Runaways with their classic Cherry Bomb.. So anti parenting.. Anti establishment.. A short lived band as most punk groups were..

The New York Dolls with Personality Crisis ... Here yet another group I got into just a a fluke although I knew they were punk or glam as they were more figured to be and a supposed influence of certain groups like KISS.. Personally I don't see it but so they say..

Heart of The City by Nick Lowe.. I wouldn't know this was punk without it being here on this set.
