the 100 most important Anarcho-Punk songs

The search for the Anti Product 7"s and Civil Disobedience brought me here.

 

Berkshire Cunt - at least important to animal rights
and then every oi polloi and subhumans song

 

You know you had Guns of Brixton on your list which is just a cover/tribute to Clash/Joe Strummer.

These lists are kinda silly anyway, people giving their fave songs, not the most 'important' ones.

 

Reagan Youth - U.S.A.
Adolescents - Democracy
Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia
Suicidal Tendencies - I Shot Reagan

All I can really think of atm

 

I think "Guerilla" should be in this list. They influenced alot of German hardcore Punk bands.

 

Ok, I see if I can list some songs that important to me, likely be heavy UK bias though cos that who I am...

Crass - So What, Big A Little A, Banned From Roxy, Bloody Revolution, Gasman cometh, Mother Earth, Contamination Power
Zoundz - Subvert, Can't Cheat Karma, Did He Jump
Astronauts - Survivors
Oi Polloi - Guilty, Anarcho Pie, Punx Picnic, 23 Hours, Take Back The Land
Conflict - Whatever Way You Want It
Liberty - Suffer No More
Clash - English Civil War
Dead Kennedys - Holiday In Cambodia, Lets Lynch The Landlord
Inner Terrestrials - Enter The Dragon, Guns Of Brixton
Bug Central - A Moment Of Clarity
Restarts - Big Rock Candy Mountain, Legacy Of Bigotry
Poison Girls - Bremen Song
Active Slaughter - Born Free, Smash HLS
Discharge - Realities Of War, Aint No Feeble Bastard
Legion Of Parasites - Sea Of Desecration
Hawkwind - High Rise, Whos Gonna Win The War
Flux Of Pink Indians - Tube Disasters
John Lennon - Working Class Hero
Bob Dylan - Subterranean Homesick Blues
Carter USM - GI Blues, The Impossible Dream

 

subhumans: subvert city, zyklon b movie, mickey mouse is dead, no
aus rotten: the system works for them, the second rape, fuck nazi sympathy, flags will cover coffins
crucifix: annihilation, no limbs
a//political: love is the basis, propaganda by deed
reagan youth: reagan youth
the restarts: outsider, XQ28, they're on to you
D.O.A.:fucked up ronny, police brutality

that's all i can think of right now

 

Do these fit as well? (just asking)

 

Hawkwind was PROTO-punk apparently So there's punk in there

 

Depends on interpretation. As I mentioned earlier, Guns of Brixton is a straight cover of the Clash song, and I thought about that for a time, and decide that it is the nature of lyrical content that makes an 'anarcho-punk' song, so while I would never refer to some of those artists as anarcho-punk, there are aspects of the individual songs that are, for example...

As soon as your born they make you feel small,
By giving you no time instead of it all,
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school,
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool,
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years,
Then they expect you to pick a career,
When you can't really function you're so full of fear,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV,
And you think you're so clever and classless and free,
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see,
A working class hero is something to be,
A working class hero is something to be.
There's room at the top they are telling you still,
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill,
If you want to be like the folks on the hill,
A working class hero is something to be.
A working class hero is something to be.
If you want to be a hero well just follow me,
If you want to be a hero well just follow me.

 

damn...this is the second time I've seen you comment with lyrics....

 

Is there anything I write do that doesn't annoy you? Anyway, I posted lyrics in less than 1% of all my posts, and with reason. The first because I am not female, and thereby feel less qualified to understand than someone that is, and here as I find it difficult to see how I could give an example of one of the song's lyrics using my 'own words'. If it annoys you that much, delete the posts, and maybe in future, you could stop following me around questioning everything I write, you wasting your time, it not going to work.

 

Why use your own words, which seem inadequate or less appropriate than someone else's?
I see no harm in posting lyrics or quotes as replies, though I agree it would be nice to see credit given to the one who DID say it

 

Yeah, fair enough, just me being lazy, John Lennon, though seems Greenday done cover of it which is sad beyond belief.

 

The Greenday version isn't too bad, until they start raping it with an electric guitar solo <_<

 

yea true the solo sucks, but the cover ain't that bad (imo)...
