Really? Second greatest band of all time? So you never heard of the Stones, Who, Aerosmith, Kinks, etc. who predated them and where the punks got their influence from, just at a faster tempo? How sad you actually think that punk noise was cool. You have NO idea what cool is and it definitely wasn't punk as much as CBGB in NY liked to think so.
So where is punk today? Ever here it on a radio station or on a jukebox? Of course not - just noise and yelling. But the Stones are everywhere on jukeboxes and in so many movie soundtracks. They started with covers of Muddy Waters and Howlin Wolf and others on the Chess label. Then came Motown with all their beautiful arrangements that punk never had.
We like what we like. Fair. Just please don't compare the punk movement to actual musicians who wrote real songs and yes, that includes the first Boston. Sue me for liking melodic rock.
You are being ridiculously pushy on this thread.
I just read your last post to someone
Who the hell are you to tell another FReeper what kind of music they are allowed to like or enjoy?
Get over yourself. No one died and made you king around here.
