Buzzcocks Family

Yesterday I posted up Howard Devoto family and a lot of that could fit with this, so I included only two Magazine tracks, the rest you can find yesterday. My pick includes a lot of the Buzzcocks over the years (even after the death of Pete Shelley). A little of my favorite Buzzcocks, four Pete Shelley solo tracks and then a smattering of tracks from other members of the Buzzcocks. Steve Diggle who kept them going, Barry Adamson (check out his family pick for more). A couple of side projects for John Maher, Mike Joyce and solo track from Tony Barber round out the pick. Not too much of a rabbit hole, but enough to get you started looking. The Buzzcocks were one of those bands that I never understood why they didn't reach mainstream success more than they did. Their songs are mostly pure pop. But then you hit one or two and the lyrics tell you why they were banned on a few occasions.
