[kj] OT- Alex, Johnny speaks of the Ramones

[Neil Perry]

Nah, not me (not that I'm an 'original' punk...)

I always presumed the first 'punk' band, in terms of a musical
style/nihilistic attitude, was The Stooges. Don't really count
the NY Dolls, but then never really rated them - to me if they
influenced anyone it was Kiss (which is another gulf between
US/UK perceptions). 

Why did the Sex Pistols cover 'No Fun'? The Stooges were 'punk' before the
term/movement/whatever had been coined/invented.

thats what gets peoples back up when it comes down to it, this rather
patronising attitude.
