Summary: I remember seeing this when it was released.
Comment: I still love this movie. Some great classic footage. If you like early 80's music, try to at least see this movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A must see!
Comment: The very first time I watched "Urgh! A Music War", I was 15 years old. I was already a huge fan of punk/new wave music and this movie opened my eyes up to so many great bands. I was a huge Police fan, so they were my faves, but I loved all of the performances. I became a huge fan of X, Devo, Magazine, XTC (Respectable Street is etched in my mind), Klaus Nomi, Toyah Wilcox, Wall of Voodoo (I could never play that song out loud, but I loved it!), and so many, many others.
Music today just cannot compare to what was done in the early 80's. This movie encapsulates all of that creative energy and fantastic sound. I was lucky enough to tape it when it was showing on cable back in the 80's and I have it on VHS. I may look into getting it converted to DVD because it is such a classic movie.

Comment: Has this title ever been put out on DVD? Fantastic 1981 two-hour film that showcases many up and coming new wave / punk bands in three-to-four minute performance snippets.Just SO many to check out,some for the first time,as I dug viewing clips by the Police,Wall Of Voodoo,XTC,Go-Go's,Klaus Nomi(the strangest act I've ever seen,and THAT'S saying something),Devo,Cramps,Gary Numan,Gang Of Four,X and simply too many more to list here.An absolute must-have.

Summary: Get it for XTC alone!!!
Comment: I had the privilege of viewing this film at a bar in Brooklyn less than a year ago and was floored! Between The Police, Klaus Nomi, Toyah Wilcox, Oingo Boingo, and Dead Kennedys, how could any fan of punk and new wave pass this up?
The highlight for me is seeing XTC peform "Respectable Street". Most XTC should know that the band never toured again after 1982, which makes this clip that much more worth picking up!
Well...what are you waiting for???
