not punk?
they're punk enough for me.
buzzcocks are punk
but this comp sounds like ass.
Original Punks, but this compilation sucks
The Buzzcocks were some of the originals, along with the Sex Pistols. There are much better recordings, though.
Who gives a fuck?!
It's just good music, shut the fuck up and listen to it. You're ALL a bunch of douchebags for clinging to these flimsy titles, anyway.
NOT punk?
You douches claiming the Buzzcocks are "not punk," what is your definition of punk? The Buzzcocks are DEFINITELY punk, and were DECADES ahead of their time in the whole punk/powerpop movement. To see how influential they were on the punk scene, just reference bands on Rip-Off Records, Dirt Nap Records etc... The list is endless. Punk is way more than Black Flag and the Exploited. The first real "punk" band was the Ramones. They were the first band ever catagorized as "punk rock." They were, essentially, a powerpop band. Anyway, listen to the first track on this Buzzcock record and explain to me how they are not a punk band...
PUNK it IS
Punk came partially as a revolt to the "complicated" music of the big bands at the time, i.e. Yes, Pink Floyd, ELP. So they stripped it down to the basics. I-IV-V progressions and pop swells and chorus. Bands like the Ramones, Television, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc They were doing 50s pop. There is a reason why the Ramones wanted Phil Spector to produce one of their albums... Though not their best effort in my untalented opinio. Don't confuse the launch of Punk in the 70s with the Hardcore of the 80s. Punk was melodic. It did have a lot of attitude. But musically a bit of the gist was... you can play every song on any album in your garage band. Not many could play Steve Howe. Even The Clash (the only band that matters) was Punk with pop sensibilities. Elvis Costello was Punk. And The Buzzcocks were Punk in every way possible. We will not see many like them again. For those who would love a sampling... There is a great collection called, No Thanks! The '70s Punk Rebellion
Buzzcocks are THE punk...
As I love it... And as it never will be again... Sorry guys...
Buzzcocks are NOT punk
But they are pretty awesome. I don't get why everybody think they're punk, they're pure pop.
don't
How do you catergorise the buzzcocks - they were not punk in it's "pure" essence. They were a pop band but with bells on ! Get any of th first 3 albums

Six Degrees of Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols
By Jason Pettigrew, eMusic Contributor
It used to be easier to pretend that an album was its own perfectly self-contained artifact. The great records certainly feel that way. But albums are more permeable than solid, their motivations, executions and inspirations informed by, and often stolen from, their peers and forbearers. It all sounds awfully formal, but it's not. It's the very nature of music — of art, even. The Six Degrees features examine the relationships between classic records and five… more »
