Ye olde punk rock.

I'm Stranded
By The Saints

Brisbane's very own The Saints are technically the fathers of modern punk. They formed before the Sex Pistols, and around the same time as the Ramones. I like this song for its simplicity, and for a while there it was like an anthem everytime we'd go out to the alternative clubs (well this, and 'Paint it black' by the Rolling Stones).

Lust For Life
By Iggy Pop

If The Saints are fathers of modern punk, Iggy Pop is the Grandfather. He's been around making music since the 60's, starting of playing avant-garde rock that would later become known as proto-punk. He's still kicking around today (and is like a ball of muscle :S) which just goes to show that sometimes taking a retarded load of drugs wont always kill you.

Warrior In Woolworths
By X-ray Spex

X-ray Spex never made it as big as the other punk bands, even though they started around the same time. But regardless, they bring a bit to the table. For a start, I think they were the first punk band with a female singer, paving the way for PJ Harvey and Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Secondly, about a quarter of the way into the song, BAM, sax crime. It's a classy act.
