Punk drove the ‘80s. But no matter what, most people didn’t dig these acts.
I don’t have anything to prove. When it comes to music so many on the net have found their pals in fringe music and feel suddenly that it’s a lot more popular and well known than it really is. Music snobs who seem to feel the need to prove how special they are listening to music no one else likes.
I do things that aren’t popular but don’t try to turn them into a superiority symbol.
And what this has to do with my ego I don’t know. It’s an observation from 20 years on the net. And some from the real-world past where talk of these Smiths and Ramones occasionally popped up but I still don’t know what the heck they ever did.
Who cares is most people dug them? The list is about bands that did 1 album and went away. By its nature such a list will probably consist primarily of obscure acts.
You say you have nothing to prove, but you’re the only one on this thread thumping your chest.
Again, who cares if it’s popular. And NOBODY on here is declaring themselves superior, accept, again YOU.
Never Mind the Bollocks is a landmark album among punks. Probably 60% of the people I call friend own a copy. I don’t consider it obscure in the least.
It has to do with your ego because you’re the one acting all butt hurt. Meanwhile you shouldn’t trumpet your own ignorance. You’re sitting in front of the internet for 20 years hearing about the Smiths and Ramones and don’t know what they did? FIND OUT. Or shut up. Personally I’m not into the Smiths, Morrissey is kind of whiny and a jerk. The Ramones though, landmark stuff, planted the flag for the big boom of American punk.
