D.I.Y.: Blank Generation - The New York Scene (1975-78)

wound up voting for the blank generation after seeing that spanish stroll had secured a vote lol

robert quine is a damn hero

God, culture moves so fast. This era was only 20 years after the initial explosion of rock'n'roll, and it was already considered "oldies".

Music from the 50s was considered oldies in the 60s, and pretty early in the 60s at that.

This one was formative for me for a lot of reasons but mostly because it's the first time I ever heard Suicide. I would vote for "Cheree" in more or less any poll it could appear on, so this is easy.

Blondies style in the x offender video combined with the farfisa is pure retro

"X Offender" ftw

Someone compiled a Spotify playlist of the album.

Not sure if the compilation had different versions than what is on the playlist since I never heard it before. Also the album that the Mumps' track was culled from is off Spotify now. The single of the song is on Spotify, however, but the person who made the playlist didn't make it editable, so you'll have to make your own playlist if you want to correct that oversight. Still, this is good. Listening now.

see no evil because of my old band's masterful (heh) mashup cover version where i inserted the "ain't that nothin'" lead (sort of) in place of the "see no evil" lead. repeats --> download music files --> click on first track.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

70 votes!

Okay, I guess.

First time in a long time where my gut reaction to the results was an audible "well, alright"

Voted for Suicide.

Perfect!

Also love that if Blondie hadn't had 2 tracks to split their vote maybe there would have been a 3 way tie featuring them for 1st place.

If you combine tracks by same artist, I think Ramones would have been in 1st place, then Richard Hell & the Voidoids, and then a 2-way tie between Suicide and Blondie.

I get "Let Me Dream If I Want To" stuck in my head about once a year despite never listening to this comp anymore, should have thrown it a vote
