None of this American stuff like Green Day and the Offspring: how can you be punk if you market yourself with dolls like Take That?
I was a Pistols fan but loved loads of the bands from that era. Some of whom carried on well after Punk was effectively dead. The Damned, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Jam, Buzzcocks, Stiff Little Fingers - saw them all and they were all brilliant. Others from the period are no longer thought of as Punk or New Wave but certainly were at the time - Ian Dury and the Blockheads, Elvis Costello and the Attractions, Blondie and even The Police. A great period in musical history. Oh yeah - The Clash. |

That was a great synopsis of Punk there, VanGoghsEar. I was a big fan of Ian Dury (some of the lyrics are hilarious). I also liked the Clash and some of the early Adam and the Ants work - like "Cartrouble".
I notice that for some of the artists that you name, the music that they produce has changed over time. For example, Ian Dury wrote and starred in the musical "Apples" and Elvis Costello has dabbled in classical music too. |

I love the sex pistols but i dont get the difference and segregation between whats punk and whats not, to me if you feel punk and write the music for that reason then you are punk.
