I'm just 'taking the piss' Sarah. Greenday might as well be the sons of The Buzzcocks.
There were many branches of punk. The later generations of Punk rockers either followed The Sex Pistols with their anarchist lyrics, The Clash with their sociopolitical lean or The Buzzcocks with their prettier looks and obvious singles.
The resemblance is obvious.
But, as far as the what is punk debate goes, history loves rebels so The Clash and The Sex Pistols get priority when it comes to defining what is punk. |
Well anyone that starts something is the the mark by which all are judged (though that leads onto the debate that the New York Dolls invented punk anyway but lets not go there).
As far as being the sons of the Buzzcocks that might be why I like them as I more or less consider the Buzzcocks to be perfect music. It is where punk met melody and people that could play.
It does make me laugh when people think it is an insult to throw 'gay' around in punk circles. Hell sexual radars were all over the place in early punk and it was part of what made it so great and so scary for some at the same time.
The Buzzcocks are coming to London in april and I sort of want to see them because they are one of my all time faveorite bands but I don't know if they are any good live these days and I wouldn't want to go away disapointed.
