Was 14 when punk broke through, my brother was really into it (he loved Damned/Buzzcocks/Magazine/Pistols/Stranglers, also Graham Parker and QTips) I didnt fully understand what I thought punk was about until I heard The Jam - changed my life.
Not a Mod but his words meant something to me then, still do.
Always thought punk was about youth, interesting when you see the ages of many of the participants.
I also loved Joe Jackson, Costello and XTC

Some good tracks listed. Somebody is obviously a Wire fan. This is their best track IMO.
Not heard that in years , probably in pips

Charlie Harper was 30 odd in UK Subs and Jet Black about 40 in The Stranglers!
Billy Idol and Tony James left Gene October / Chelsea as October was pushing 30 in 76 and the pair were writing songs like Youth Youth Youth and Wild Youth and October just didnt fit in

An odd one here about Joe Strummer.... Surely he wasnt a cockney red???
Joe Stummer made a record about Manchester U****d? What the f**k is that about?
I am halfway through The Charlatans Tim Burgess' book and there is a chapter on his friendship with Strummer including this bit.
"I spoke to him a few times over the phone while he was writing the words to a celebratory Manchester U****d song. I was too busy to be involved but asked Mark (Collins) to go to the recording and represent the band. But the song was never released as U****d never made it to the final."

Crass. Brilliant band, odd and unusual. As far removed from the manufactured dog's vomit we get today as it is possible to be. Bloody Revolutions, love it.
