Description

Classic Punk Singles 1976-1980 - Generation X
7" single Your Generation / Day By Day (Chrysalis) 1977
written by Billy Idol - Tony James

The line-up on this one:

Billy Idol (vocals)

As an example of Generation X I didn't choose any of their best known songs, but instead the B-side of their first single, which I have personally always liked. This is the closest to punk music they ever were.

By random search through my 7" single boxes I choose to upload here more or less classic punk singles from 1976-1980. I exclude some of the "biggest punk bands" ... like Clash, Pistols, Ramones etc. These are some of my favourite punk singles ... in the way I see it today, some 35 years later. Hope you like them too. Once again I won't tell much about the band nor the song ... probably you know more about this than I do, if not, google it ;)

I'm totally aware this has been uploaded YouTube more than several times, but once again I wanted to include this on my channel as well. Even though I suppose there won't be many persons to listen to this. Thanks for being one of them ;)
