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
