Punk Vs. Rock

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.
