Really into punk and I know they were one of the first etc. Just never really flicked my switch. More of a Blag Flag or Dead Kennedys man.

I blame John Travolta , Olivia Newton John and disco , the punks were on to something....... perhaps not !!!
The Jam and The Clash did it for me and I went off in a slightly different direction as the 80's began .
We ended that decade with Kylie and Jason , we've never fully recovered .
Jam and clash are awesome, Stiff little Fingers, Stranglers and Buzzcocks.
Aye Ian Curtis definitely had issues tragically .
I just liked the rawness of the group , that DIY thing of the classic Indie band era that spawned The Stone Roses etc etc .
I can be all over the place musically , I never got the Beatles as a younger man but now I play them regularly .
Brass bands do it for me on occasions and a bit of Glenn Miller , what's that all about ? , me neither .
As much as I like some of the punk stuff there is also a lot of tuneless shouty rubbish and maybe in hindsight it was a bad thing for musical development.
