Alzheimer's Soundtrack: The Buzzcocks

Most of the muzak I put up on the AlzTrak is bubblegum pop meant to catch you old farts up to what is good on todays radios. This is from a band nobody in America ever heard about and it is the template for Green Day and any band that pretends to play Punk today. This sound was my cure for zits in 1979. If lead singer Pete Shelley didn't sound like a feminine can opener this guitar band would have been the next Beatles. If you like this there are a lorry full of great punk-pop anthems from The Buzzcocks on YouTube with awesomely awful EuroTeeVee vids. Your kids will actually like this because absolutely no one else they know has heard of it.
