I like any musician that "defined" and era of music, the Sex Pistols/Vicious were the definition of punk...

edit: Yes, i did go through a punk phase in my early 20's (circa 1978-80)

Then you should be more a fan of Glen Matlock who was actually plugged in onstage.

I had a punk "phase" but it was bands like Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, The Minutemen, Gang of Four, Big Black and like. :tup: :tup:

papabass, just outta curiosity, how old are ya? My pops is 50, or 51 and I figured he woulda gone through a punk phase, but he was always into shit like zeppelin, floyd, crue, stuff that was considered hard rock back in the day and despised punk.

Well there only a few applications where that sound is useful to me. But where it is, it's pretty much the only sound that fits.
