: that you can talk about "old" punk and not mention Wire, the
: Buzzcocks, Gang of Four, or the Damned scares me ... : )
: also deserving mention would be The Birthday Party, the Toy Dolls
: (blink 182 with talent and a hugely original sound...), Blondie, PiL, the
: Pixies, etc.
: hell, They Might Be Giants are more punk than anything on the radio
: right now. For me it's always been about the attitude more than the
: sound.
: Cocteau Twins is another band that lived and breathed the "punk"
: ideal... DIY to the core (the only outside producer they ever had was
: on their first single in 1982), rarely did interviews, didn't tour much,
: didn't give a shit what people thought. that's why i love them so...
