Sorry this blog is owing in so late, I must have missed the memo that we had to do it. Anyway I'll try my best to remember exactly what I thought about the various punk and rock bands we listened to.
The band that stands out the most would have to be the Ramones, probably because they played a big role in that movie that we watched. I liked them because they contained the punk craziness, while still playing good music. The Ramones are actually a band that I've listened to, mainly thanks to Blake. My favorite song is definitely Blitzkrieg Bop, even though I wouldn't really call that punk.
The late 70s presented itself with a Punk vs. Rock war, and I would say Punk won. As you mentioned, people are always looking for the underground music, which in this case was Punk. And while rock was still prolific throughout this period, I think Punk took the medal.

Bergdorf- love/hate
I hate to say this but I think ABBA is really catchy. All of their songs are singalong songs, and while their music seems girly and not my taste, I can't deny that it's catchy. I actually watched the ABBA musical, hate to say it, but once again it was pretty good.
I liked The Clash surprisingly too, I've never really been a huge fan of punk, but they were more "progressive rock." The Clash seemed to be excellent musicians excellent guitar, very well-polished keyboards that surprisingly work , rhythmic bass, and fast paced drumming. I like the face paced element they had in their music, but it wasn't too fast paced to just be annoying.
