I wasn't guessing, just taking the mickey out of your repeat posting of the same message about my cluelessness...
Anyway...I need to move on from the late 70s....thinking about that era brings back feelings of irritation, and thankfulness of the present, in equal measure.

This is how far away from punk rock things have moved, for me, anyway. This is a very nice record from 2016. Keeping it fresh

Tommy Gun for me is their best punk song but the best song they ever did, and one of my top 4 songs of all time is White Man in Hammersmith Palais.
Good post. For a while I didn't really give a toss. I liked the shitty little bands the best, espcially if they were a bit weird or mad. Here are three of my faves from the punk era. I have two of the three on vinyl still.

Of the three, the Thomas Leer kicks the most arse for me.

Were you living in Faversham in the punk years? If so, you'd have prob have been to see The Ripsnorters. Or Nick Hughes' band Cenetrox in Sittingbourne. Or maybe even ventured into the big bad Medway Towns and seen the likes of me...

Actually being able to play their instruments extremely well shouldn't exclude them from the honour of best punk band. Aside from the obvious musical talent they had all the other punk attributes in spades. Moody, aggressive, always getting into fights, kidnapping journalists, and even their hardcore fans were hells angels.

Interesting comment.
I'm sure that teenagers would agree as that has always been the way, that the younger generation always believe that their music is better than their parents.
The advancement of digital recording and autotune no doubt has played a part in improving music, however I firmly believe there has always been good and bad music by generations depending on personal taste.
Are Little Mix better than the Bay City Rollers, possibly, are they better than Pink Floyd, no. However no doubt someone who prefers catchy 3 minute 'pop' songs would disagree.
I don't listen to nearly as much new music as I used to, but the surprising thing is that although I dislike the stuff my son likes from todays groups he has been asking for recommendations from my collection, as he discovers music from yesteryear.
Just off now to listen to some new music - Construction Time & Demolition
No one was better than the Bay City Rollers.

Saw them at the Roundhouse supporting the Ramones. Brilliant....but...long hair
Yep, the memo obviously didn't reach NYC or Brisbane. I also saw that tour - Cambridge Corn Exchange.
