I would just like to confirm that Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin was actually born in Limerick in Ireland so that makes him Irish.
I agree with some points in this thread but im gonna stay out of it.

Nah i don't think so, they echoed a genuine sentiment that was almost universally shared between the youth of that era.Quote:

The Ramones have simple riffs and rhythms and a good singer. The Sex Pistols have mildly more aggressive lyrics. That's it.
You're being anglocentric, you assume people know who the sex pistols are. I didn't hear of them until a couple years ago and I didn't care for it. The Ramones are to punk what Bob Marley is to Reggae. If you "like punk" you'll say you like the Ramones. Or you can be a blatant poser and list Green Day as the only punk band you can remember the name of...
The Clash are great though. Not going to say anything negative about them.
But American Punk is generally much better because our punk is about having a good time. It's just fun sounding.
British punk is more hardcore rebellious. American Punk is more whimsically youthful. The latter confers better emotions.
Listen to the Screeching Weasels, they've mellow.
I like my punk to sound more like the old beach rock stuff, mellow, warm weather music you can dance to. Yes, dance to.

i love how the anglophilic advocates in this thread ignore every musical artform created and pioneered by black americans in order to justify their highly dubious assertions.
actually, no...i hate it.
not just that, but the shoddy reasoning about things like the sex pistols being more important to punk than the ramones
this thread is shit and only proves how ignorant and incapable of reason most of you half-wits are.
--unsubscribes to thread.--
dusk, i implore you to close this thread...this is reaching 2pac vs. Lupe Fiasco levels of stupidity, especially now that the raging anti-semite 'theheavens' decided to offer his worthless and unsolicited opinion.
peace be unto you assholes
