“ “Crazy Little Thing Called Love” is closer to 50s rock&roll or doowop than punk. It’s something Sha Na Na could cover.” “

Yeah, the song sounds like Elvis.

[Mr. Mojo]

<< In the 70’s very few people went to punk shows, bought punk records, liked it. >>

Depends on one’s neck of the woods. My walking distance stomping grounds in the late ‘70s was the Sunset Strip (The Roxy, The Whisky, The Rainbow, Gazzarri’s, etc.), and punk was big there at that time. My high school had a decent share of punkers back then. While I occasionally listened to The Ramones, Pistols, Clash, and a few others and went to a few shows, I was still a rocker / bluesman at heart.

[plain talk]

Yep. When punk came out it was certainly quite a disruptor on the music scene. I was never of a fan although I did like some of the Ramones songs.

[ifinnegan]

Yes. Los Angeles. San Francisco. Manhattan.

And even the numbers in these places were not that big in the 70’s.

You left out the Masque (not on the Strip).

In the 70’s most people were still long haired hippies.

Did you have Clash or Ramones or Sex Pistols albums?

[Mr. Mojo]

I did, and enjoyed them.

[ifinnegan]

Which Clash Album did you get first?

Their second album was released in the US first. I bought the US release of their second album first - which was a repackaging. 1979.

[Mr. Mojo]

Give Em Enough Rope.

Wish I still had my Marantz receiver from back then.
