Genya Ravan ... a.k.a. Goldie seems to be everywhere ~

Young Loud and Snotty is the debut studio album of the American punk band Dead Boys. It was recorded and released in 1977 on Sire Records, with Genya Ravan serving as producer.

I agree. The more I read about Genya, the more impressed I become.

Great Band & I even loved Stiv Bators Lords of the New Church. Back in the mid 80's I seen a band from Ohio called Club Wow open for Teenage Head. Club Wow was a cool band that featured Jimmy Zero from the Dead Boys, Frank Secich from Blue Ash, & Willie Sullivan who is currently in Herman's Hermits.

Young, Loud and Snotty was one of the first punk albums I ever got and it will always hold a special place in my heart. The second album had its moments but wasn't as solid and they quickly fizzled out shortly after that. The Dead Boys were another band who grew out of seminal Cleveland proto-punks Rocket From the Tombs (Pere Ubu being the other). I always considered the Dead Boys to be America's answer to the Damned.

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.
