Not everyone is going to similar this map - but I honey it. London's Burning: Punk Rock Origins
is an Esri map featuring the (loose) origins of roughly of London's finest punk bands. The map plots the birthplaces of roughly of the UK's starting fourth dimension punk bands in addition to fifty-fifty allows y'all to psyche to a selection of their finest songs.
I create accept ii slight niggles alongside the map. The starting fourth dimension is the pick of vocal for SHAM 69. The map's creator has included mayhap their most good know song. However, considering this is a map nigh the origins of the bands in addition to that SHAM 69 hail from Hersham, in addition to then certainly the vocal featured should accept been Hersham Boys.
The solely existent occupation musical historians powerfulness accept alongside the map is the inclusion of the Anti-Nowhere League. ANL were non solely from a slighter after era from the residue of the bands on the map but were besides non from London. If y'all are going to stretch the boundaries of the map in addition to then it would accept seemed to a greater extent than sensible to include The Stranglers. Their domicile town of Guildford is non solely closer to London but the band are themselves of a similar musical vintage to the residue of the bands on the map.
The solely argue I tin encounter 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 spill out to ain a rattling rare re-create of the unmarried myself which I bought on the morning time of its release.
I volition thus let for the inclusion for the Anti-Nowhere League. But - any y'all create - DON'T PLAY THE VIDEO (... you've been warned!).
