"Today, so many years later, the shock of punk is that every good record can still sound like the greatest thing you've ever heard.....because it can convince you that you never have to hear anything else as long as you live-each record seems to say everything there is to say."
Greil Marcus 'Lipstick Traces' 1989

"In the inner sanctum of punk there were no more than about 100 people... the Pistols and their hangers on, the Clash...the Bromley Contingent, ...and...those at the core of punk would look down on the movement's dog soldiers, with their bin-liners and their safety pins through their cheeks."
