No
it was the soundtrack of my youth and you are a cock ;o)

it was supposed to be a interminable racket that was kind of the point. but the energy and the anger is what it was all about. Nose full of sulphate belly full of cider and charging into a writhing mass of sweaty fighting oafs and throwing myself off stages into the same were some of the happiest nights of my life.

I don't think that technical proficiency was ever really the point of Punk,

In the end, I opted for getting drunk.

I like me some Dead Kennedys, but ^ this is oh so true.
Not quite Kings of Leon annoying, though

I actually quite like the KoL singer's voice.
But I can see how it's annoying.

Biafra, though - he's like the Talk Talk guy but not musical.

That said, his lyrics are good - Holiday In Cambodia is superb - "Playing ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz on your five grand stereo, bragging that you know how the niggers feel cold and slum's got so much soul ..."
