A View to a Kill (Duran Duran) Aw, now I’m getting all weepy and nostalgic for 1982. (7. Although it was really ‘Elvis Costello and the Attractions’) (10.

1. Pretenders 2. Velevet Underground 3. New York 4. Madness 5. Ramones 6. Sex Pistols 7. Elvis Costello 8. Minutemen 9. Tom Tom Club 10. Rock and Roll High School 11. How punk were you if you’re still alive after all this time? 12. Other than London, is there another answer? 13. I had to look up “2-tone”. 14. all I could think of For a music feud, this one was hard for me, probably because I HATED punk except for one thing; it killed disco (which represented everything I despised about the “music industry”). But I wasn’t opinionated or anything…(“Three chords and an attitude? Are you F\*&$#%g kidding me? I’m a drummer and I know more than three chords!!”) I’m much more open minded now, but I still say Green Day is punk the same way Tom Jones is metal. ---

1. Devo 2. Velvet Underground 3. New York City 4. The Specials 5. The Ramones 6. The Sex Pistols 7. Patti Smith 8. The New York Dolls 9. The Heartbreakers 10. Rock and Roll High School 11. - a guess, no clue if they still perform, but they might. It’s kind of the nature of punk / new wave for groups to burn out. 12. - not Tom Petty’s band, Johnny Thunders (Dolls), Richard Hell (Television), etc. 13. - starred The Ramones. I’ll be very interested to see the disparity in answers on this one. A lot of people can’t even agree as to what punk/new wave even is. 🙂 ---
