I agree! The Dead Boys from the States and the Damned from England are my two prototypical punk bands.

Who did you like better?

I probably enjoyed the Damned a little more since they had more variety and Captain Sensible is one talented looney.

The Damned. They demonstrated more staying power anyway.

Damned were great but I prefer the Dead Boys

* Cheetah Chrome started a new band earlier this year called the Batusis with Sylvain Sylvain(NY Dolls), drummer Thommy Price (Scandal, Billy Idol, Joan Jett), & bassist Enzo Penizzotto(Joan Jett)

One of the reasons that the first album is so cool is that it was produced by Genya (Goldie Zelkowitz) Ravan. Many people don't realize that a good producer makes a major difference in how an album is received.

The remarkable thing about that production was that they were originally recorded as demo's but the band was so pleased with the results that they ended up using that mix for YL&S.
