Brilliant classic track, even though I had to watch 5 seconds of Vic Reeves promoting B&Q Gardener of the year before it started.

Re: Punk ? Just a great rock band

Labels are arbitrary really. Sniffin' Glue fanzine in the 70s gave the following advice on how to create punk which was, I think: Steal a guitar, learn three chords, form a band.

But you can progress from that in many directions and still retain the original spirit.

I am a lover of all music but mostly a rock and metal fan

I always found UK punk a bit tinny with no bottom end

Apart from GBH , Discharge , Conflict

999 , UK subs did not have a powerful enough sound to me

But some of the American punk , especially the dead Kennedys and later minor threat and black flag and fugazi were loved by us rockers because of the heavy guitar work

People can place bands in any genre they want but if they are loud and are driven by guitars then that will do for me

Don't get too bogged down by it all. I'll dance to Abba if I'm in the right mood, and they can be gothic as as **** if we're getting into labels.

The Stranglers had an aggressive, provocative attitude which sort of aligned them to the punk movement, but their music was more complex and polished than your typical punk band of the time.

Clearly influenced by The Doors, they had this distinctive gothic organ sound which sometimes borders on prog rock, fairly lengthy songs with frequent solo breaks.

Looking back now, I think them and Television laid the groundwork for the post-punk scene.

Re: Punk ? Just a great rock band

I think the stooges were a rock band , the guitar on dirt is so heavy

The Stooges were a hard rock band for sure, but there were elements of punk in their sound too.

Nobody was playing like this in 1972

Shredding that guitar long before acdc came around

I think he's an influential to rock music as iommi from sabbath

Re: Punk ? Just a great rock band

They were never really punk. They rode that wave for a bit though.

I think The Raven is my favorite album of theirs.

What would you call The Clash? My fave band besides The Jam and just in front of The Cocteau Twins.

The Clash played pretty much any genre, were they really a punk band?

Londons burning is clearly a rock band in action , hard riffing

The Jam were a rock band once they hit their stride , burning sky off setting sons is immense

Same with who , early days they were dancing around , then they cranked it up to 11
