Devoto and Shelley were the guitarists and songwriters for the original Buzzcocks.

Johnny Rotten was the lead singer of the Sex Pistols.

Sensible and Vanian were guitarists, songwriters and vocalists for The Damned.

Ian Curtis was the lead singer and lyricist for Warsaw and then Joy Division.

All of these guys were basically the founding fathers of British punk and were the first punk groups to climb to the top of the British charts.

K,

Just joking. I knew Johhny Rotten.

The name Ian Curtis rang a bell but didn't quite remember.

Tonight I saw a commercial for M&Ms featuring an old The The song -- weird.

Where will it end....where will it end? ;)
