Did I get one of my favorite bands: Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Misfits? No, I got The Clash. Not knocking them. Was just never into them. Nor do I really identify with them.
And to be picky, most of these bands made their names in the '80s. They may have started in the '70s but punk was really ushered in with Reagan.

And to be picky, most of these bands made their names in the '80s. They may have started in the '70s but punk was really ushered in with Reagan. The New York Dolls first album was released in 1973, the first 4 Ramones albums were released between 1976-1978, the first 3 Clash albums between 1977-1979 (including London Calling), the only actual Sex Pistols album in 1977 & the Misfits debut was released in 1978. Not to mention landmark albums by the Dead Boys, Johnny Thunders, Richard Hell, the Runaways & Stiff Little Fingers. Therefore, the foundation of punk was laid in the 1970's. Not being picky either. I do agree that Black Flag & the Dead Kennedys, along with Minor Threat & Social Distortion were more about the '80s. W What Reagan ushered in was hardcore. |

I do agree that Black Flag & the Dead Kennedys, along with Minor Threat & Social Distortion were more about the '80s. W What Reagan ushered in was hardcore. LOL. I've had this debate a million times. Not that I'm disagreeing with you. My personal ethos concerning punk just differs from others I guess. To me punk centers on anti-authority/establishment. A lot of bands that were labelled punk never really fit that mold. Some were belligerent garage bands while others were lumped in because they were hard to classify. Blondie and Talking Heads were considered punk by a number of people. I just associate punk with Reagan politics which provided that authority and establishment to rebel against. But I guess English punks had Thatcher earlier, so... And hardcore is it's own debate - I know people who would laugh at Flag and DK being called core. But what do I know? I was mostly a metal-head.  |

As a byproduct of the 80s, I was a metalhead, too! Until I discovered the Ramones. And I also agree about Blondie and Talking Heads. It was like anything that wasn't the norm got labeled as "punk". Thank God someone coined the term "new wave" to stop all that nonsense!

You know what I find most ironic is it's like the most unpunk thing to argue over what is and isn't punk.

I got Black Flag and given that I'm a fan of Henry Rollins, I'll take it.
