London's Calling - The Origins Of Punk Map

Not everyone is going to similar this map - but I dear it. London's Burning: Punk Rock Origins
is an Esri map featuring the (loose) origins of around of London's finest punk bands. The map plots the birthplaces of around of the UK's kickoff punk bands too fifty-fifty allows you lot to heed to a selection of their finest songs.

I produce convey 2 slight niggles amongst the map. The kickoff is the selection of vocal for SHAM 69. The map's creator has included perchance their most good know song. However, considering this is a map well-nigh the origins of the bands too that SHAM 69 hail from Hersham, so sure enough the vocal featured should convey been Hersham Boys.

The alone existent work musical historians powerfulness convey amongst the map is the inclusion of the Anti-Nowhere League. ANL were non alone from a slighter afterward era from the residuum of the bands on the map but were likewise non from London. If you lot are going to stretch the boundaries of the map so it would convey seemed to a greater extent than sensible to include The Stranglers. Their dwelling menage town of Guildford is non alone closer to London but the band are themselves of a similar musical vintage to the residuum of the bands on the map.

The alone argue I tin meet for the map's creator to add together the Anti-Nowhere League is that they wanted to include the video for 'So What?' on the map. So What? only happens to live on the most gloriously vulgar tape of all time. I give off to ain a rattling rare re-create of the unmarried myself which I bought on the forenoon of its release.

I volition hence permit for the inclusion for the Anti-Nowhere League. But - any you lot produce - DON'T PLAY THE VIDEO (... you've been warned!).
