Another of Lewdd's fab punk projects

(scott) Lewdd works overtime to bring us yet another punk project, I have not listened yet, but this is a fab
idea.....it's a complex concept, so I will let him explain it, but it sounds like a great collection.....would be GREAT if more of you fine folks created similar projects, even repeated THIS one with YOUR fave tracks....anyways, this should be great, and again thanks to Lewdd.....he's been a submission monster of late, trust me, as I have a bunch more stuff he's sent me, waiting for the right time to post them, including concert boots from Buddy Guy, and from The Specials......look for those efforts soon, as well as a recreation of the Sex Pistols 1977 (40th anniversary) tour, you'll have to wait and see on that one!

(Lewdd)-I took the list of albums that the magazine Vive Le Rock published and picked my favorite song from each album.  In several cases, it probably was not the song that was the most popular.  I know you like New Wave type bands so figured you may like this.  I would say that I had never listened to a large portion of this list before this weekend.  There is some good stuff on some of these albums.  On some, I struggled to pick one song to put on here, but had been set in my mind that I had to pick one from every album on the list.  Post this if you so desire.  Track listings for each CD mix are included as is the list of the 50 albums.
