Generation X was far better than anything Billy Idol did on his own.

@misterberko Borstal Breakout is a hell of a tune as well, but Ready Steady Go will always have a place in my heart. There is no one or the other for me.

Billy Idol...AKA William Broad, was a posh public school educated pretty boy from stockbroker belt Surrey who fell in with the Bromley Contingent (Google it!) and became a punk. He used to leave his spacious family mansion in a leafy suburb and drive up to gigs in the heart of London in his Triumph Stag sports car. A first class ponce.

Heh heh, thanks for replying but we're going to have to agree to disagree then. I did miss the 'first wave' and only got into in the late 80's. What I am completely sure about is that music can't be 'punk' if it isn't angry and anti-establishment. there was also the whole 'anyone can do it after learning 2 or 3 chords' D.I.Y-sound. Without either of these all you have is late-70's pop music. Not that that's a bad thing, as I keep saying.

@misterberko I am well versed with punk from that era as I grew up listening to it and I was a serious collector of pre-1984 punk vinyl for years. Peter and TTTB is more novelty than true punk, although they were early progenitors of punk. Sham 69 was good but really, trying to discredit Gen X as not being punk is misguided at best. Sure, they were more commerical sounding, but they were heavily involved in the punk scene during that time period. Idol was a bit of a poseur for sure.

Re: "This IS punk"
I did say I liked this but... Nah. Rubbish, sorry. Try searching for "Banned from the Pubs*, or "Borstal Breakout", watch the videos and then watch this again.

@misterberko This IS punk. Billy was part of the punk scene. Of course, even back then, he was accused of being a bit of a poseur, but this is still great punk rock, and the LP this comes from is one of the great punk albums of that era.

I love the way Billy looks here, he just looks so fuckin punk and cool.

is this TOTP? The only thing that leads me to believe this is the fact that the performance looks pantomimed, as was normal on TOTP.
