1977 The Year Punk Broke - 3 discs of great memories, so many bands that I saw in bars, pubs, clubs and venues in and around London - Buzzcocks, Stranglers, Damned, Vibrators, Boys, Jam, Heartbreakers, Eater, Only Ones, Models, Motörhead, Cock Sparrer, Blitzkrieg Bop, Killjoys, Johnny Moped, Rezillos, Wreckless Eric, Slaughter and the Dogs, Gen X, Sham 69, Tom Robinson Band, 999, Lurkers, Menace, John Cooper Clarke, Wasps, ATV, Eddie and the Hot Rods, Chelsea, Cortinas ... and that’s just the ones from the album that I saw that year, so many other tracks as well, 87 in total.
Not every track is great, but that’s not the point. It was time of pivotal musical change and had an impact on me (and many others) that has lasted my entire life.3 -

Conflict - This is the A.L.F.
A powerful message, with spirited delivery, from Eltham lad Colin Jerwood.
From the band's impressive 1986 LP The Ungovernable Force
RIP drummer Paco Carreno.

My favourite bit in that was when the guy in white socks and sandals was playing four consecutive 16th notes on the bass drum, but playing HEEL DOWN. (Spoilers: drummer talk.)Lincsaddick said:1 -

Have turned my daughter on to a lot of those bands and tried to educate her about the times and context.
The impact of punk was seismic, because as we know it was more than just music, it was political at a time of economic and social deprivation - before it all inevitably turned into another marketing commodity.
I always considered myself lucky to be of an age that was old enough to be part of the Beatles/Stones/Kinks era, but young enough to embrace the punk revolution.
Edit - Lucky you to have seen so many of those bands1 -
Not as impressive as when my kids will be asking me about my britpop days "well, I saw Geneva and Marion..."Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

It was a great few years from 76-79, you could go to 3-4 gigs a week, many of them free or low-price.Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:

The Roxy, in its limited lifespan, had 5 or 6 bands a night.
Only problem was the lack of venues in South East London. There were a few but most of my time was spent in Camden, Islington, and the West End. Although there were a few good places in East London.
You are right, punk was seismic ... it changed everything.1 -
The one on the left looks like he's terrified but the other finger snapping one is a real cool dude, not!

It came out in ‘61, I only remember it because my older brother had it.
Didn't know it was our entry into the Eurovision Song Contest, came second. In the day when we used to do quite well.1 -
Taken from their self titled bloody brilliant debut album, Chicago Transit Authority, when they were a thoroughly decent band (drummer doing his Whiplash impersonation) and before they went all slushy and drippy!
