Saw the skids twice recently and they were easily the best of the reformed bands I’ve seen.
Mebbes Devoto was on with Buzzcocks?

Add Anarchy in the Uk, to that list of tunes with great drumming and guitar riffs.

Not offensive. Childish I thought it then and still do.I fully agree but it's also the production of it that still amazes me. It's very rare for a decades old album to sound as though it could have been recorded on up to the minute 21st Century equipment a couple of weeks ago. NMTB does, as does Dark Side of the Moon. You'd expect that from Pink Floyd but the Pistols also nailed it.
The usual singles are still brilliant but Bodies is still shatteringly offensive 40 years later.
I watched that. I nivver knew Toto wrote theslow one on Thriller.Fuck that shit man. Katie Puckricks doing Yacht Rock series - miles better music

a few people who I rate, have said the same, about The Skids.
i'd imagine that some bands doing it now, are doing it for the enjoyment and NOT the money (if you get me)

Pretty Vacant stands the test of time against any other song from the last forty years.
(Amazingly that's how long its been).
Society could do with a kick up the arse as well to be fair. Imagine the safe space mob ringing the the police to report Johnny Rotton for hate crimes "he's offending me!"

Pretty much all of the decent music since will cite their influence
I'd say punks greatest legacy was openess and empowering anyone to make music .The stuff that didn't stand the test of time isn't on BBC tonight ,or any other night

Been drinking ^
Fair dos, as I've mentioned on here before my favourite Dylan album is Desire. Everybody seems to love the song Isis on there but it gans on forever with lyrics seemingly written by a concussed Liam Gallagher trapped in a studio with 5 tattered pages of the Ladybird Janet and John rhyming dictionary. It gets right on my tits.
He'd suck the life out of a hendon beach shitrock.
He'd run rings around them. Eloquent, driven and an entertaining, arrogant, sarcastic smartarse with a cruel wit. A true one off.

I’ll always remember me & @Libertine were at a gig & I said the brilliant thing about music, is sometimes you don’t know why it’s brilliant, there’s just something that clicks. He said “I still get excited now when I hear the opening riff of Anarchy in the Uk”. I’m pinching that line one day.
Who are you thinking of marra? Hopefully they’ll all be new to me & I’ll have a bit fun discovering.
It all goes back to Elvis, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly. I’ve never delved back before then.
