Recommendation:Artist: The Monks
Album: Black Monk Time
So, a while back, I and a death-metal guy were lecturing a heavy-metal guy on the origins of punk-rock. We both started describing the movement as starting from the '60s group The Monks. A few nights ago, I found myself talking to someone who knew the lead singer, who now lives in Minnesota.
Allmusic.com says, "To prove that they meant business, the Monks shaved the top of their heads and performed their songs -- crude diatribes about the Vietnam war, dehumanized society, and love/hate affairs with girls -- in actual monks' clothing." If you wonder what punk music might be like in the 60s, this is it. It's really pretty great.
