As it happens, with regard to punk, I saw most of the 'greats' and no so 'greats', from seeing Eddie and the Hot Rods at Cardiff Uni in September '76 to the anarcho punk bands in the 80s. The only true band I really 'got' were The Stranglers. Their May '77 gig at the Top rank Cardiff is one of my 50 all-time great gigs. With regard to disco, it was insufferable shite at the time that all the 'trendies' listened to and danced to,and like feckin' sheep. Dreadful stuff, then and now, and I went to most of the clubs in Cardiff that played that kind of kack in the mid 70s.
I do tend to be contentious with my opinion on music in here, and in life in general, as it can start a good healthy debate. I'm always interested in what turns person on music wise, and always keep my ears open for new music that I haven't heard before. But I do, and will have an opinion on that music
I'd be very interested to know what you like and dislike music wise?
