Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

Yeah it's kind of ironic really, Roger Daltry, out of that little know band The Who, used to do a global advert for American Express.
While John Lyndon, of the Sex Pistols, world famous..... Does a Country Life advert............

Last year, we landed in Goose Bay, Canada, on our way to Jacksonville (to pick some golfers up, for the Volvo Golf Championship, we have not got the endurance to fly to the USA non stop), our Engineer and I were speaking to the refuler, he asked where we where from and we said Leeds, he immediately replied, I have heard of Leeds, The Who did a album, Live at Leeds. Made me laugh if not our engineer. I could not imagine a similar thing happening with punk

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

Your wrong - Johnnie Rotten was on the BBC one show Last year! Also this year there was a program on BBC 3 about 1977 and the punks on top of the pops also several programs on Nirvana who were inpired by punk and a form of punk!

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

Last year..........................
Yet there are dedicated Music Channels for Pop, Rock, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock on 24 hours per day.
Punk is dead, long live the King.
Anyway, I thought you had, had enough of us....

Jeez that is serious crap.:eek:

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

I forgot about Duck Rock, which was not punk, but hip hop.
I never said he was clever. What point are you trying to make?

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

Heard he'd sent this as his curriculum to the producers of Downton, for the position of Valet to his Lordship...

Lovely tweeds - not a safety pin in sight!:D

Rotten luck -if they don't give him a chance.:rolleyes:

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

I never said it was punk. If you recall the Rock n' Roll Swindle near the end there were some black guys dancing, I don't recall exact detail now but it was like McLaren knew what was going to be big next that was Hip Hop - I don't know what you think:confused: but I think Trevor Horn is a genius of production and McLaren very clever - that is the point I was making!:cool:

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

he he he! Some say Jackson Pollock is a genius - others just say "serious crap!"

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

Quite like some of stuff Pollock produced, very interesting to me, but then Abstract aint proper art.:D

Re: Punk heralded the death of pop
 

I wish you had said so, Yes they were both very clever in their chosen fields.
I had forgotten the end of the Rock n' Roll Swindle.
thanks for that

More Frankie - been researching 1984 music. This is a classic, beautiful music and lyric. Found this version live from the San Remo Festival 1985 - the festival will be on shortly.
