Never mind the bollocks, here's to punk music
Almost 30 years ago, on May 27, 1977, the Sex Pistols released God Save the Queen. Britain was awash with celebrations for Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee.

Yeah!
This album has a proud place in my vinyl collection.
Makes me feel young too - I was 1 year and 1 week old that day :-)
EDIT: Alright, relatively young. The bald head's a bit of a witness for the prosecution there.

ha ! a mere stripling youth...
I was 5 years and 7 months me ! sadly, my vinyl/perspex/datafile collection is still decidedly lacking on the 'Pistols front, but I have covers of several of their songs, particulary 'Anarchy in the USA' which made an appearance on Megadeth's "So Far, So Good. So What ?!" Album.

Also part of my vinyl collection, although it's a bit crackly and the sleeve is rather dog-eared.
I was five years old in '77 too.

i for one had never heard punk music where i lived. the airwaves here was dominated by country and western music.
the furthest i have ventured into that genre was blondie.
btw i was 6 yrs old in 77.

By the time I was seven I was, much to my mum's dismay, wearing a black, leather jacket and spiking my hair. I loved punk. (Well, at least I thought I did.)

No shame in that - Blondie were the bollox.
Still get played in the club I DJ at.

I would very much like to venture into a back in the day Debbie Harry myself actually.

Imagine the kudos? She was my first crush, my bro had a poster of her on his wall. I now know why the poster was placed near the end of the bed...
