Ewww--perhaps we should just agree to disagree at this point..ah, but what
the heck. It may be simply a generational divide, but punk was like a
revelation to me in the '70s, a vital music that rocked with the passion and energy of
the '60s music I already loved (Beatles, Kinks, DC5, Raiders, Monkees, et
al.). The Ramones (still my favorite, second only to The Beatles in my pop
cosmology), The Sex Pistols, The Buzzcocks, The Jam, Generation X, Eddie & the Hot
Rods--they all made records that thrilled my soul, and my affection for them
remains unchanged.
For me, punk, new wave and power pop all merged with '60s rock 'n'
roll as a compelling mass of rockin' pop music. Hell, I viewed Segarini's "Gotta
Have Pop" as part of that--sorry to learn that the song's author didn't
agree...!
