i remember the vinyl of the Peel Sessions was more often out than the studio album... and Fan Club was one of my favorite pieces of torture as i tried to do the guitar riff properly... In most cases the Peel Sessions are more exciting... so i'll say YES I DO TOO!

@bapplefloss Want to go into philosophical debate? First things first: define the terms. Who are the punks?
Don't start except if you have a long long long evening to waste (for people living in the arctic circle) or if you have a thesis to write to get a phd in youth subcultures or rock'n'roll history ...

@PIERRECLARY Do you think the May 77 Peel Sessions Fan Club is better than the album's cos I do.

I meant Neat Neat Neat. Ha, they never played Problem Child, sadly...

I just saw them play and they were incredibly amazing live. I walked in when this song was playing and felt like I wanted to run into the crowd immediately..but..I had heels on, so best left to the others. Adoration is an understatement.

Do you think punks would argue about what punk is or even contemplate what qualifies as punk?
Sometimes when I listen to the Damned, I think this is what punk rock was actually supposed to be - fast, and ballsy. The pistols were snotty aholes, the Clash were hard but soft, but the Damned seemed a like the guys next door on speed, playing gtr, drinking beers, and banging groupies. They play fucking fast, but arent dumb speedcore. Totally underappreciated band...

... because he knew decades later it would offend pretentious, politically correct, thin-skinned 'mericans.
