sheesh! not another one. Okay, back to the '80's then. In the 1983 flick,"The Hunger",vampires David Bowie and Catherine Deneuve walk into a bar looking for fresh blood. Name the band that's playing in the bar, and the song they're performing.

So, what's your poison WP,so to speak,if Punk don't float your boat?
By the way, anyone else is free to try answering the question.

Well for one I was never a fan of Poison  ;D

My tastes vary to be honest. Enjoy music from the 60's, 70's, 80's 90's & the early 2000's and even some of today's stuff but not much of today's stuff

Hate Punk, Rap, Hip Hop and what I call "processed" music

Some days I'll listen to Fleetwood Mac, then I swap over to Simon & Garfunkel, then it could be over to Cheap Trick, or Tonic, or Pat Benatar, or the Doobie Brothers etc.....

One CD I'm listening to a bit at the moment is "Gurrumul" by Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu - who played at the Dream Time at the "G this year. Sensational

"Oh yes I am a dreamer, I still see us flying high!"

from the song "Don't Walk Away" by Pat Benatar 1988 (Wide Awake In Dreamland)

I know Nirvana played in the first BDO but I don't know if you would call them alternative as they were selling albums in Brash's stores at that time under "Rock". Violent Femmes also played and they were considered "alternative" at the time so maybe I've got 1 out of 2 MT??

Two out of two correct tiga  :clapping  :thumbsup

I guess Nirvana were considered alternative until Nevermind (released just a month or so before the BDO) made them mainstream popular.

Cool MT! After Nevermind was released, I wonder how many fans were determined to turn their young children into "Water Babies"  ;D

Well, it looks like no-one had a go at answering my quiz, so I might as well tell yaz.
The founding members of the New York Dolls were: David Johansen (voc.) Johnny Thunders (lead gtr.) Sylvain Sylvain (rhythm gtr.) Arthur "Killer" Kane (Bass) and Billy Murcia (drums).
Incidentally, WP and Tuckerbag, they were not Punk. They were a straight-ahead rock band whose sound was influenced by 50's rock like Eddie Cochran, traditional Blues like Sonny Boy Williamson and Bo Diddley, and elements of early '60's girl groups like the Shangri-La's.
The reason the Punks were in thrall to them was because of their swagger, and the fact that they favoured basic rock'n'roll to all those 15 minute guitar breaks, drum solos,and navel-gazing lyrics that Prog "artists" had inundated rock with by the '70's.
