Oof. Now that's controversial. You really think so? Give us an example of why you say so, DD.

I don't actually believe it, Fange!!

I thought the point was to say something you actually believed!

Q.E.D.:

Bowie wouldn't be as big if it wasn't for Eno.

He didn't work with Eno until 1976 by which time he was already a globe buggering behemoth.
It says 'say something controversial' not ' say something demonstrably untrue'

Eno wouldn't be as big without Bowie however is demonstrably true. He built his 80's production career on Berlin Bowie.

I have great taste in music

the punk movement had nothing to do with excess prog or excess other rock bands.
Punk was a separate movement that came from 1960's garage rock and other "proto-punk" bands.

From October '78 to October '80 The Jam were the greatest singles band on the planet.

Tube Station
Strange Town
When You're Young
Eton Rifles
Going Underground/Dreams Of Children
Start

Blondie wants a word.

Picture This (ok August)
Hanging on the Telephone
Heart of Glass
Sunday Girl
Dreaming
Union City Blue
Call Me
Atomic
The Tide is High

Bowie/Eno? Mutually helpful I reckon - Eno helped Bowie reposition himself as (post) Punk relevant, Bowie helped Eno become producer to the hip.

The Police’s singles are none too shabby either.

...Although Costello may like an invite :

Radio Radio
Oliver's Army
Accidents Will Happen
I Can't Stand Up...
High Fidelity
New Amsterdam.

Costello’s version of Shipbuilding is way better than
Wyatt’s.

Controversial!

Early singles by The Who are overrated.

Can didn't get going until 1972.

All so-called 'progress' in popular music came to a halt in 1980.

All that followed has been an ever thinner and blander, endlessly re-configured and re-combined, postscript, actually it is an epitaph of sorts.
