punk was an assault on disco

punk was an assault on disco and thankfully killed the beast =).

i grew up listening to and loving the stuff. as others have said...it wasn't about the "music". it was a culture thing. never really liked the sex pistols but bands like velvet underground, joy division, iggy pop and the romones are still some of my oldy favorites. these guys actually knew how to write and perform. i was very fortunate to see them all live. i'll never forget a joy division show i saw in the UK.....i remember it like it was yesterday. talk about atmosphere and passion!. incredible!

every time i think about this stuff, i gotta smile.

Punk was also an assault on prog rock. New wave emerged from punk as keyboardists/synthesists resumed their rightful place in rock.

Disco had its moments, too.

Punk rock was a not so much a breath of fresh air to the music scene but a full blown hurricane.
My friends 'two bob' pub punk band 'The Anabolic Steroids' motto was 'ability stinks'....
Really fun times being in and around the late 70's with that to brief musical revolution in the mecca of music.
No more pogoing! and definitely no more swapping spit from across the room, ewwww...........
