The Clash definitely had a huge influence on the whole post-punk 80s bands (who in turn influenced a lot of the 00s UK bands like Kaiser Chiefs, Kasabian, Arctic Monkeys etc). It'd be great if you could check out The Jam at some point too. They were fronted by guitarist/vocalist Paul Weller, who was a massive influence on the Gallagher brothers from Oasis, and even featured on the Oasis song Champagne Supernova (for a more punky song by them, check out In The City.....for one of their more well known songs, Town Called Malice). Great reaction though :)

Black Flag later brought in lead singer Henry Rollins, who's gone on to solo success in music and as sort of a spoken-word storyteller/stand up and author. Songs like Rise Above, Six Pack, TV Party, and My War, all classics. Also, definitely Misfits. Any of their songs.

I have been a punk rock fan since 1978 - I highly recommend "X-Ray Spex , Oh Bondage Up Yours"!

Great thoughtful reactions!

London Calling (entire album) is an absolute masterpiece...their first album was much rawer but very influential to budding garage bands. when the ramones and clash first albums came out they turned the music industry on its head. suddenly we could do anything...

The Damned still tour and rock out hard to this day.

The Damned actually also had a huge influence on the gothic rock movement since the lead singer Dave Vanian often impersonated a vampire on stage in their early days and some of their songs were also proto-goth. I really love them and recommend "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" and "Smash It Up" (it's a two-part song and you need to do both parts), both from their second album "Machine Gun Etiquette". And considering The Clash: you're right, they are probably one of the most influential bands of all-time and definitely the most influential punk band especially on alternative rock bands all through the 80s up to now. Their frontman Joe Strummer is a true icon, up there with John Lennon or Bob Marley. He was a very wise and intelligent guy and there are quotes of him all over modern pop culture. You really should do an album reaction on the whole "London Calling" album. It is truly one of the true masterpieces in music and one of the best albums of all time. Like rock 'n' roll legend Jerry Lee Lewis used to say: all killer, no filler ! I'm sure you will love it. And post-punk should be logical to be your next genre to try out after discovering punk. There is so much to learn there as well, especially when I see that you're into bands like Interpol. Bands like Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Cure (in their early days), The Smiths and many others are the founding fathers (and mothers) for many sounds today and bands like Interpol, The Killers, The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Editors, TV on the Radio, Arcade Fire and so many more are hugely influenced by the post-punk movement (which derived from punk and was also the forerunner of what later became gothic rock).

@@kirawasareactor Thankyou! There is just so many flavors of punk to choose from. While not punk but The Specials were an incredible UK Ska band from the late 70s early 80s that kinda goes hand in hand with punk. One of my most favorite punk bands is a hybrid of punk and ska called Operation Ivy.

My favorite 'Cocks song is Paradise on Different Kind of Tension. That Pete Shelley is a real romantic. The odd band out in that respect.

Great reaction. Love that you love The Damned.

I just found your channel and I love it...your excitement reminds me of how it felt hearing these songs for the first time. I'm creeping up on 40 here and being taken back to being a youngin jumping around my room singing along to all this music blowing my mind just makes me happy. This is great! Your enthusiasm rules!

Black Flag "Wasted"and their take on "Louie Louie" are both must hear tracks.

if she was amazed by how short the songs she listened to...wasted will blow her mind for how short it is

Some absolute classics! The Adicts - “I am yours” Subhumans - “Subvert City” Fugazi - “Waiting room” Buzzcocks - “Ever fallen in love” Sex Pistols - “ God save the Queen” Descendents - “Myage” Dead Kennedys - “Kill the Poor” Misfits - “Last Caress” Agent Orange - “Bloodstains” MC5 - “Kick out the Jams” Fear - “I don’t care about you” If you’re feeling brave, you can also check out GG Allin, but this serves as a warning.

I loved these two videos looking forward to more

This video made my day 😍 I LOVE PUNK ROCK!!!

I can so relate to your excitement hearing London calling for the first time! I kind of re-discovered The Damned a few months ago actually, their third album Machine gun etiquette is a masterpiece fusion of punk and pop bliss.

The Clash is one of the great bands, period, regardless of genre.

This warms my heart. I see many other great lists in the comments. Excited to watch your journey. I grew up around musicians and am so grateful that the adults around me exposed me to a wide variety of music across all genres. Enjoy your exploration and thanks for sharing it with us.

Great to see your reactions to hearing punk rock for the first time. I was the same 40 years ago too and I still love it just as much. There is plenty more of that stuff out there to discover. All the best.

The Damned is so good

If you loved that Stooges song, you GOTTA react to their second album "Fun House."

Yeah, that's a banger! Hope she's ready for it.

It's amazing how Keith Morris' voice sounds even better today, 40 years after! I saw him with OFF! a couple of years ago, he is a certified punk legend.

The Clash singer on London Calling was Joe Strummer R.I.P. One of the greatest frontmen we ever had in the UK. Be sure to check out their albums, along with the other bands mentioned by other people here.

I can't believe you didn't pick the sex pistols! They've one of the best album titles of all time: Never mind the bollocks, here's the sex pistols

@@kirawasareactor to be fair, i am into punk a lot (i mean i actually sing and play guitar in a punk band), and i am not really into the sex pistols. i appreciate them for who they are, they are one of the key cornerstones of the punk movement, and you just have to appreciate them for the spirit. i am not crazy about the music though. you definitely need to listen to them though. as well as misfits and dead kennedys from the big names i believe. also, don't miss out on the zero boys. they are a hidden gem I believe. based on this video you will love "Civilization Dying" by them.

"I heard of the Damned the least" Story of the Damned in a nutshell. They actually released the first punk single in the UK, and the first to tour the States, but are kinda under looked. If you liked the Damned, check out some early stuff from TSOL, anything off of the album Dance With Me.

I found myself forty years ago experiencing big surprises with punk music. Thank you.

You rule! So neat to see a reaction of songs that I listened to 40 years ago

Wot no X-Ray Spex? "Some people think little girls should be seen and not heard. But I think... Oh Bondage Up Yours!"

The album, "Double Nickels on The Dime" by The Minutemen, is essential punk listening! They were very unique and stood out in the scene, because of their fusion of hardcore punk, blues, and jazz. Highly recommend them! great reaction btw!

I had the biggest goddamn smile on my face this while video. Welcome to our world ;)

U make me happy. Love to see your energy :)

Try “new rose” by Damned. Strawberries is a great album ! Kaptain sensible gonna love you dig his leads

"Short and Sweet" is punk in a nutshell.

So happy to see The Damned included in something like this. They're often overlooked. Your reaction to Neat Neat Neat is the same reaction I had when I first heard it and its the reason why they're my favorite punk band.

Kira - "The vocal delivery of London Calling was probably my favourite across the five songs I have listened to" So great to see a young person appreciate the late, great Joe Strummer. And Kira, live the Clash were AMAZING!!!

London Calling -the whole album is a must listen. Repeat 1000 times. One of the best rock albums ever.

The fact that you liked The Damned is awesome. Check out Love Song from them, My personal favorite of theirs.

This is such an awesome video. I got into punk in high school when I was 16, I'm 30 now and that music just flows through my veins. So glad to see a young person enjoying the music that made me who I am.

SO cool! I love it!

Got to do Sex Pistols, they “were” punk. Never mind The Bollocks whole album Also the Stranglers ,Rattus Norvegicus full album, if you like bass Burnel is one of the best

real pity a band with name like Shitlickers would be impossible to sneak in there too.

I love all these bands, but after finally seeing the Damned live for the first time in the US last night, and they're still going strong after 40 years!- I'm GenX and grew up on all these bands, and in most cases I love what they were-a good memory. The Damned are the band that stood the test of time! They evolved while sticking to their roots and keep putting on engaging, energizing shows! And they are so underrated-really amazing as musicians and performers. Thanks for recognizing- that was the show of a lifetime- the crowd was going wild dancing and moshing-young people and people their parent's age alike.

I've never seen any of your vids before but from this one it appears you've been a punk rocker in waiting. Or maybe you're always this enthusiastic. Love the energy!
