You won’t find anyone north of Watford with a good word to say about them. Witless bovver boys.

They were closer than the other bands to a more traditional pre-punk mainstream rock (which is why Yomp liked them so much of course) with Sensible straining at the leash to do another guitar solo and Scabies wanting to do his Moon impression.
Of course, Sensible wasn't playing the guitar in the early Damned days, but I'm sure Brian James will forgive your oversight.

I doubt you could find anyone north of Watford lucid enough to have an opinion.

Jesus. This is why this topic should never be discussed.
"you really had to be there...really going on...relevant as Abba...on the ground...pale imitations...real thing...officially declared it dead..." This is like dialogue from a movie.
It makes me never want to have an authentic experience again in my life.

Quickly, everyone while grumpy old Grampy tells us all about the night he went to the 100 Club during the Punk or possibly even the Punic War for about the millionth time.

Surely there is no such thing as an “authentic experience.” I’d be curious to learn about an inauthentic experience, it sounds like a lot of fun!

Re: Top five punk bands
I'll play:
Sex Pistols
Ramones
Penetration
Buzzcocks
The Clash
I don't count Siouxsie & the Banshees as, by the time they recorded anything, they were post-punk.
