Just Three Chords?
Fans have frequently expected the sound of many (proto)punk musicians to remain 100% faithful to that of their original bands. Fortunately, the musicians themselves have not felt so constrained - here are some samples of the results:
Nico:
- 1967: w/The Velvet Underground — All Tomorrow’s Parties
- 1973: w/John Cale, Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera — You Forgot To Answer
Jonathan Richman:
- 1973: w/The Modern Lovers — Roadrunner
- 1992: I Was Dancing In the Lesbian Bar
John Lydon
- 1976: w/Sex Pistols — Anarchy In the UK
- 1986: w/Public Image Limited — Rise
David Byrne:
- 1977: w/Talking Heads — No Compassion
- 2004: w/the Tosca Strings — Tiny Apocalypse
Joe Strummer:
- 1979: w/The Clash — London Calling
- 2002: w/The Mescaleros — Arms Aloft
