For me, it never did.

That is too bad...NY in the late 70's (which I barley got a glimpse of) and 80's was AMAZING for Punk...and DC was as well with respect to Hardcore...Being only 13 in 1977, I often felt I was born about 5 years too late

Rock and Roll is on life support...even good current bands are barely a blip on the radar...

The Stones need a milestone like "50 and Counting" to stay relevant...U2 needs a
cause ( (red) ) and and literally give away it's latest CD to make a mark....other bands...Jack White...freakish talent who seems to do no wrong as long as he keeps reinventing himself a bit...like Clapton in the 60's-70's (who??), a new band every 18 months...Foo Fighters...Dylan...a true, deserving fan base...but nothing else...Prince...true genius that will never fit in...Neil Young...always (well mostly anyway) a god-like figure who is also with a well deserved fan base, but nothing else in the music industry stratosphere...

I now struggle to come up with any other names...I know they are there...but again...not with any idea of longevity like when RnR ruled the airwaves along with Soul, Disco, Motown, and RnB...

You make liquid shit drip Joey with your stupid comments…
for something you say never happened, it is beyond strange that tens of thousand of bands have made punk music, and many have not only had success, it had such an impact, it even made bands like The Stones re-think their own direction…

That's pretty well done and sadly true. I'm sure there are some (Sir Stonesalot types) who can say I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, and then reel off the names of a dozens bands I've never heard of and never will (and who if I sample on youtube, will sound just like revved up or bluesed up wannabes from any decade), but rock and roll seems to be dying a sad and slow death.

Steel Driving Hammer…
He's trying to be relevant in post-irrelevant type of way.
Seems he got sirmoonie to buy into it a bit, he thinks naming bands that he hasn't heard of, may add credibilty to this…
which in rebuttal, I say rhetorically, tell me more about an experience you haven't had… seems like a really bad argument when discussing the impact of a genre of music that changed music for decades!!! But I like Moonie, so whatever!

I don't understand this thread either. But the phrase 'like punk never happened' is the title of a book on UK music from the '80's that I've been meaning to read for years but haven't yet. Supposedly it's quite good.

Just look at Emotional Rescue and Tattoo You which both albums were written during about the late 70's.

The whole entire album Tattoo You was as if Punk never even happened.

The entire Tattoo You tour was a direct response to what was called "punk", what with accelerated tempos even faster than the '78 tour, and free-wheeling, raw and tremendously wild guitar playing.

Jagger has always known what's going on musically, and it's pretty obvious that Some Girls left-overs such as Hangfire, Little T&A and the more recent Neighbors were all written, performed, and mixed in response to the numerous great young bands often called 'punk rock' bands who had been reviving the rock n' roll spirit for the last few years.
