Did they? I bought their first few albums and I don't hear any punk influences. Do you mean when they were the Tourists?

Or should I have said Siouxie with the wonderful Robert Smith? But look at her fantastic 80's style!

You're right to question the statement, because it's wrong.

Pre-Eurythmics Annie Lennox, and Dave Stewart were in the pop band The Tourists.

Whose musical roots were in folk rock.

About as punk as Pickettywitch.

:rolleyes:

Pre-Tourists, Annie Lennox was in the group Dragon's Playground.

Who appeared on ITV's New Faces.

Very punk.
