From the ridiculous (Oi!) to the sublime.

But who deserves the title, "punk grand master".

Tokolosh · 08.21.2006, 06:23 AM

Philosophy?

Tokolosh · 08.21.2006, 06:26 AM

I was to fast for the poll.
Talking Heads was my choice.

Does anyone remember these guys.

Pookie · 08.21.2006, 06:28 AM

No, but I like the look of them

toxic johnny · 08.21.2006, 06:32 AM

Well this is all highly subjective stuff...
In my opinion they all deserve merit apart from Talking Heads.

But Richard Hell will always be my "Punk Grand Master"

Ubuubuubuubuubuubu...

Richard Hell is the ''Grand Master''. The entire movement in England came from what Malcom Mclaren brought back with him from the USA, namely the complete look and attitude of one Richard Hell.

Oh dear. This thread could be about to take a sharp change in direction and become a skirmish over the origins of punk. It's always very messy when that happens...

I know isn't it? I'm not trying to start a battle but ''Punk'', the term, the music and lifestyle started in the US, the fashion started in the UK and some great music came out of the UK.

Fair enough?

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 07:41 AM

no john lydon?

I'm Not Being Defensive, Damnit!!!!

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 07:46 AM

You two!!

RdTv · 08.21.2006, 07:53 AM

haha...I think its my nature to become defensive about punk rock origins, simply because the majority of people are ignorant and un-educated on this matter. So, forgive because I, for a brief moment, forgot I was speaking to some of the most knowledgeable and enlightened music enthusiasts available. And as a token of my sincerest apologies here's a little bit of something

Androol · 08.21.2006, 08:00 AM

the first punk song was I Got A Right by The Stooges from 1972 although the band themselves were more proto-punk like MC5

The Ramones were the grandmasters of course

Neon Boys are coming in second regardless of dates

Toilet & Bowels · 08.21.2006, 08:03 AM

thanks, that's a nice tripod logo.

porkmarras · 08.21.2006, 08:06 AM

If i hear one more person deciding wich one was the first punk song or where it originates from,i'll go out and bite the head of a random pigeon.Fuck's sake!!

"Two Little Boys" by Rolf Harris was the first punk song.

The Stooges were just a heavy rock band, don't believe the hype.

Television (with Richard Hell) pre-dated Voidoids, but Hell certainly had the punk image nailed.

I'm not saying who had the first punk song for fear of an innocent pigeon buying the farm.
