You mean the same as hank Williams and others were against the trad jazz on the radio.
You mean the same as the early Elvis and others were against the crooners.
You mean the same as Mowtown against white rock'n'roll.
You mean the same garage bands like the Sonics were against the British pop...
No I'm not as Elvis, john Lee hooker, hundreds of young rockabillies in the 50s garage and surf bands, ska bands in the 60s saved up there own money and recorded there own records so I think your wrong.
This is the biggest lie and insult to everyone who performed music before 1976....
So in essence your saying Hank Williams, John Lee Hooker, Elvis, Buddy Holly, all the old ska boys and original American garage bands and countless others all did it for nothing and would never have made it...
The Pogues were or are they punk, I know he had a early Psychobilly/ garage trash big beat band called Nip & The Nipple erectors, but I would never have thought of them as punk just punk influenced folk.
But you may know more than me, as I was too young
The most talented so called punk band the clash were more influenced by reggae, rock'n'roll, and pub rock and only took in my view a punk attitude which is what I think punk was an attitude, the music had been done before in America in the 70s and even the 60s with garage punk trash music. Is it...
