Homeland And All Things Maher

Punk Irish hip hop, then thoughts one of my favorite bands, who I probably saw 50 times in the Paddy Reilly Music Bar on Second Ave back in the day: Black 47, and later Chris O'Byrne's Shenachi Unity Squad? Hung with hip hop Chris back at Rocky Sullivan's when it was on Lexington.

Jimi's cover of All Along The Watchtower is superb.

I hate Rush too and many of those bands with high-voiced singers, Yes too, and the rest of them, but I might be in the minority on that.

How about the Thirteenth Floor Elevators for hard core early-on? Another punkish rock band out of England The Pretty Things. [then again I think I'm a lot older than you}

I know Black 47 but am more of a Dropkick Murphy’s/Flogging Molly guy. Saw the Dropkicks with Madball at Mulcahy’s in ‘07, what a fun show. I never heard of The Pretty Things. I’ll have to check them out. More of a Clash/Specials/Madness guy when it comes to the English. I don’t know how many of you are into this stuff, but I’m definitely an early 90s, into the 2000s NY/New England hardcore guy.

I see Frank Turner is fronting a Pistol's tour with Jones/Matlock/Cook. Not exactly hard core but might be worth checking out.

Clash - Only band that mattered throughout college. Clash survivors should try the same with Lars Fredricksen doing the Strummer parts. Early Libertines always reminded me of Clash as well.

Specials - If it weren't for the Clash they'd have been the #1 in our apartment. Glad I got to see them a couple times the past decade or so before Terry Hall died.

Clash all time great.
