The Dolls were an absolute laugh riot. Loved 'em dearly, though no, I never really thought of them as punk. Sylvain's riffs were top notch. Has anyone seen the video on Arthur Kane called "New York Doll?" I may have actually strapped on my roller skates and cried a bit after that one.

Funny how none of the Ramones albums ever became big sellers. My opinion - mostly because of the filler that was on each one of them , including the first four classics. The Sex Pistols, from one true albm - the Bollocks, manage 4 classic songs - Holiday in the Sun, Pretty Vacant, Anarchy in the U.K., and God Save the Queen. Rotten never hid his opinion that punk was not about uniforms or haircuts. And he was quite blunt about Malcolm's machinations. Top that off with this - what other punk got his knee slashed and was attacked, picked up by the police and charge with assault ? The PIstols took the crap for the rest. The Ramones were there first, The Clash were the ones to show what punk didn't have to be, but the Pistols were the face of Punk. And that they can still manage to grab a sackful of money for reunion tours speaks to their enduring legacy when the Ramones had to did relentlessly just to pay bills.

I don't have the whole album, but I like The Sex Pistols from what I've heard, so I'm sure I'd like that album. I really like John Lydon's later band, Public Image Ltd. too.

Raucous rock and roll. A solid 12 track LP, featuring a charming young Lydon on vocals and Steve Jones providing some catchy riffs on the six-string. A bit overproduced for a 'punk' album, if you stop and think about it. Still, it works. Couldn't think of a world without most of these tracks. I like it.

There wasn't much I liked about the British punk scene - or the American one for that matter...but I do enjoy giving Television's Marquee Moon a spin from time to time

There's an album I've not played for a while - Ramblin' Rose, proto punk if ever I heard it.

No, there are worse albums, but I don't like it any more than Nevermind.

Nope. There has been a lot more interesting things done within the punk genre.
