Couch Flambeau - We'll Go Through The Windshield Together

Daft Punk:

The theme song from the Mary Tyler Moore show actually rocks. Who knew?

ANYTHING by the Sex Pistols, The Saints and The Clash (up to Sandanista - they LOST me from then on!)

Just a favorite (not "the" favorite) punk song I was thinking of today.

I've always enjoyed, "Swiss was a punk rocker".

The Saints have a few Punk-smokers, but the rest of their production over the years, I would like to call for half-assed rock... ( I got The Saints, Chris Baily and Ed Keupper complete on vinyl and CD, big fan, but now, never listens to it anymore)

but now, never listens to it anymore

Well, to be frank, this might be true for me as far as the whole punk rock phase goes. It was my childhood years music - or me just getting on my teenager years - and I guess that left some mark on me, as anything happening in those crucial yaers do, but I haven't really listened punk rock since, say, 1980 or 1981, when my musical taste just - how to say it nicely - evolved and enrichened helluva lot (or my own taste was actually born). I know its historical signifiance and all that, and it is funny to hear occasionally - like now - but it is not something I would freewillingly listen at home by my own, or would 'follow'. I guess punk era is for me what early Beatles/Stones were for many kids during the 60's - important at the time but since then, after 'growing up', just a pure nostalgia thing.

Anyway, I know many people of my age who still think music in somehow terms of punk - especially here in Finland the whole punk movement was a huge cultural thing; the first real rock and roll revolution that left a bigger impact on culture (the 50's and the 60's never really happened here). If I have understood right, this also happened in many other non-English-speaking countries. Even though punk had this American and especially English origin, it soon had a 'national' flavor from country to country. It was fitting for punk ideology to emphasize the locality. And since the 'message' was so important, you need to use the language people would understand, your own language. All this had an effect on how music, and culture, developed from then on, and probably had more idiosyncratic character, by using resources of one's own culture, and not just trying to copy what was happening in America or England.
