The Buzzcocks were probably the most musically durable of the British punk bands. They produced a stream of bitter-sweet, gender-neutral love songs by the openly gay Pete Shelley, garnished with distinctive buzz-saw guitars and awesome drumming from the great John Maher.
They were arguably the first band to use a distinctive visual style and
logo for their records, ads, and marketing material. The Buzzcocks logo with the interlocked Zs was recognisable from the other side of any record shop.
They reformed in the late 80s with most of the original members and have produced a number of albums since.
