The Top 25 British Punk Bands of the 70s (In my opinion)

Welcome to The Top 25 British Punk Bands of the 70s (In my opinion).
In my opinion is the caveat, the get out clause. Cos that's all it is, MY OPINION of a very eclectic bunch of bands that hi-jacked the music scene from the unsuspecting British public in the late 70s and changed it forever!!
So people, dont sh*t your pants if your band hasn't made it into my top 25 or isn't as far up the chart as you'd hoped! Also, take a good look at the title and think before you dive in to slag me off that I haven't included the Dead Kennedys or GBH etc!!! They're not there for a reason!! Its only my warped view of things back then anyway and its only a bit of fun! It's not like Ive killed anyone or anything man!! Well not yet anyway, ha ha ha!!!

Good list mate! Didn't agree with some of it but that's MY OPINION! Enjoyed watching it though and obviously it's something that's dear to your heart as a lot of work has gone into it. Keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

Even though they are an incredible band i don't think slf would like being called british very much.

[billybadbrakes]

@TheAxeMixa Not sure why not?! ..Northeren Ireland is in the UK (Britain) after all!

The Lurkers are Number 1 in my book. Should be Higher in your list, But thats your opinion.

@rjplamf61 Thanks for that, but it's something I genuinely believe!! ...all 4 are excellent bands tho and on another day, I might have put them in a 'slightly' different order!!
