It's amazing, you can listen for hours and not hear one bad track... 'cause they know the score and don't feature any kiddy pop-punk, emo/screamo or bad metal masquerading as hardcore type shit in their playlists.

You bitter old man

Reasonable question, I dont know why people cant give reasonable straight forward answers to it!

sorry I dont have them, but hopefully someone who likes Oi and does not have their head up their own ass will come across this thread and give you some tips.

P.s. I remember the days punk rock was a form of unity extended to everyone and not just sitting around being dicks on the internet!

The most anti-topic sentence in this entire thread is probably "i fucking hate OI for the most part". Which was said by you.

Do people still take me seriously on here?

Warlord · 23rd June 2005, 4:00pm

The tracks were the videos on Yaoho! Launch. The Exploited track I heard was Beat The Bastard and I think the Agnostic Front tracks were Go Gonna Go (words like that) and Lets Start A Riot.

Plus liking Burzum doesn't mean you are a Nazi. You can think one man is a genius but not agree with his beliefs.

Tomm · 23rd June 2005, 4:09pm

And it's not as if Burzum, musically, has anything to do with National Socialism.

Burzum ain't NS Black Metal.

some "football hooligan punk" is not band for this kinda stuff, cock sparrer, cockney rejects, the macc lads are my fave 3.

Cool, the AF tracks would be "Gotta go" and "Riot, Riot, Upstart" from the albums Something's gotta give and Riot, Riot, Upstart. You can hear their earlier stuff here.

I guess those tracks do have a bit of an Oi/streetpunk kinda sound, so you should check out bands like Slumlords, The Disasters, The Briggs, The Bluebloods, The Bruisers or for the original Oi sound stuff like Cock Sparrer or The Business.

There's a couple of compilation CD's, Worldwide Tribute to the Real OI, volume 1 + 2 with modern bands doing covers of the original Oi classics, so maybe look for those too.

The Angelic Upstarts, Cock Sparrer, Sham 69, U.K. Subs!, The Boys, The Business, Chelsea, Oi Polloi, The Oppressed, Peter & the Test Tube Babies, Red Alert, The Templars, Blanks 77, Booked, The Explosion, Last Stand, Press, Submachine, The Warriors, Splinter, united front.

Luckily you caught me before I became too cool for this kinda thing.

www.allmusic.com - orgonise your search by style and go "oi".

You'll get a list of the most popular oi bands to date, it's good if you're wanting to find out what's what. I'm not a big fan myself.

its anti-topic when you take it out of context like that, I was expressing my oppinion on which type of music had more of an influence on me dispite my musical background in responce to previous posts.

It was mostly 80s Oi! I was looking for. But thanks aswell.

evillin-bo · 25th June 2005, 9:56pm

um, would that be all, Mr Ravenduck?
I went off Agnostic Front when the first thing I heard by them started off with them pledging allegience to the flag. Thought it was joke at first, but it wasn't. Bleugh

How the hell did you work that out? Obv. not by reading the lyrics...

"Liberty & Justice"

Anger as sharp as the broken glass
Burning cars and tear gas
Every race riot--is the last one
A dying culture's final gasp

Every decade--yet no one learns
And it's always their own homes they burn
Crushed by a quorum-driven-state machine
A nation's will, cannot be turned

Memories lost in a nation's sleep
In the dreams of contented sheep
Can we ever hope to find solutions
When our country has sold it's Constitution

All too wrong to be right
The answer's there, we just lack the sight
Race wars fed by prejudice and fright
The love of a nation for its people
burned through the night

Monochrome blood sport--we never tire
So many things feed the fires
To repeat History--a world conspires
So many years have fed the desires
