If it's a UK poll, then your average UK person wouldn't know much about Jello Biafra, if they'd even heard of him.

To paraphrase my previous post:


What the FUCK do us Brits know about Punks?!?!

rocknrolldave said:

Well, to your credit, it DID start there, but we had some pretty kick ass punk bands here too. I'm just laughing about the fact that Quentin Tarantino is on there, and Pete Doherty. The only reason I even know who Pete Doherty is, is because a friend of mine gets free issues of Q magazine every month and always gives them to me. They seem to be obsessed w/ that guy at that magazine. There's a feature about him and his crack addiction in every issue!

I realize this list has to do not only w/ music, but also with a certain "punk" attitude I guess, but still.

minneapolisgenius said:

that, and johnny rotten ain't that punk--for fuck's sake, when he first met the ramones he thought they'd kick his ass anyway.

minneapolisgenius said:

Honestly, if you asked the average guy in the street over here, he'd never have heard of DK... Of course, anyone with a decent knowledge of music would, but they were never big here at all.

rocknrolldave said:

liam gallagher? wtf?

Stax said:
