Punk and disco certainly DID happen...and I am glad they did!!

The one thing TY did prove is that MTV happened...and not very well if you were to judge by the crappy videos they did for the TY singles (Neighbors aside, which I think was MEH, IMO)...

The sublime Waiting On a Friend took the video format to an ether level by keeping it within the limits of reality (however distorted) and keeping it simple and believable...just who WAS that blond punk rocker in the window sill??

We did this, didn't we? Gazza replied "Thank fuck punk happened, otherwise we'd still be hearing Yes, ELP . . ." and he named a bunch of other lousy bands killed by punk. Killed by punk music (Pistols).

Disco happened. It was the last hurrah of Italian-Americanismness. Feathered hair and sock stuffed crotches. But there was a lot of good black disco, and the Bee Gees have aged well too.

There wasn't much LSD in the 70s. I think people were fried out after the 60s. Thank the Lord Christ that LSD is again making a come back in America.

When I was at college in New York and Tattoo You came out, Punk was still going on. Thank God, because I only got there in 1979 and would have missed it otherwise.

To have been 20 in NYC in 1979 would have been my wet dream come true. I was there...but only 15 at the time...saw alot of what folks only hear about and pretend to have seen...

Dems good daze...real good daze

Reply #12 - Aug 9^th, 2015 at 8:47am When TY came out in the early 80's, Punk was still around, as for Disco I think Jagger was a little into it, he used to go to Studio 54, & "Miss You" was played a lot in Disco clubs.

Reply #13 - Aug 9^th, 2015 at 8:53am Is this the next one to go in the remaster series? It would be great to get a vinyl reissue but it will probably be cut from the 2009 CD remaster. To be honest, I have not picked up one of those as I've been good with the '94 Virgins.

Nice work, Andy. Almost all the commas were in the right place. When I write my opus Christianism In The Age Of The Rolling Stones, I'm hiring you!

The Sex Pistols were a manufactured band who couldn't play their instruments, sing in tune or play live; they relied entirely on shock value, reputation & hype to fuel their questionable success in the form of several lucrative record contracts before they disappeared from the scene. The parallels to today's boy bands, The Voice & X Factor contestants is uncanny – the lack of musical ability in abundance and careers based on hype - it is almost a replica.

Seriously, what Punk bands are on your playlist ?

Bands with a little intelligence and depth like The Stooges, X, Television, The Clash, The Misfits, Black Flag, The Ramones, The Jam...

Also like a lot of 60's Garage punk like The Standells and The Seeds.

My understanding was Vicious was the only one who couldn't play an instrument. Someone was playing guitar, drums, and bass on Bollocks, and Lydon was certainly singing. In tune was not the goal, and while shock value was definitely part of it, Bollocks did get made and stands high today. Townshend dedicated Rough Glass to them, FPS.

I'm not seeing the parallels between the Pistols to boy bands, or even to manufactured bands like Kiss or the Monkees.

Black Flag and X made some incredibly boring music. If any punk bands were overrated, it had to be those two bands.
