Loved the Ruts back in the day! Remember Malcolm dying had a more profound impact on me as a teenager than Sid, who at that time was a god to punks! Made me realise from a young age that drugs definitely weren't the answer!
Love in Vain ( b side of Staring at the Rude Boys, I think [emoji848]) is still one of my favourite songs of that era!
Saw Ruts DC a few months after Malcolm died, supporting the Damned at the Mayfair and it just wasn't the same! Saw them a few times since and they're a really tight band and seem genuinely nice guys, never met them tho!
The Crack is still one of the best Punk albums ever tho [emoji106]

Conflict for me, I loved the Subhumans as a kid, seeing them live in the ABC (RIP) was one of my best music moments even though they in their 50’s by then.

You see Colin Conflict has turned into a right oddball now? Pretty sad. Dick from Subhumans is sound  

For modern anarcho stuff Restarts and Hellkrusher are good.

I wasn't up at the same time as punk but I don't see how punk and Ska/reggae can be lumped together as similar genres.

 

I would suggest listening to The Slits, The Clash, The Specials or LKJ would answer your question.

If you ever get the chance , have  a read of Viv Albertine's book... "Music, Music, Music..., Clothes, Clothes, Clothes..., Boys, Boys, Boys" .

It's an excellent read, very personal.   She was the guitarist with The Slits .
