Just in the process of transferring my vinyl to MP3. Was listening to some of me old punk LPs & felt compelled to post this poll (though, truth be told, it's more an act of rebellion against the AWFUL folk music programmes my girlfriend is currently watching on BBC4) .
The Guardian view on punk is that The Clash are the only ones to have stood the test of time. Bollocks is my answer to that. Dead Kennedys for me - Jello Biafra has the best voice in rock. Never Mind the Bollocks still a great album & Damned the band I've seen the most live - always a good gig. What's your fave?
PS a couple of years ago there was another thread on punk and I seem to recall there was a guy based in Denmark who actually claimed to have been in a minor band on the scene at the time & had supported one or two of the acts in this poll. Can't find the thread & can't remember the name of the poster.
