It has been over twenty-five years since punk rock transformed the
landscape of music and popular culture, but the significance of the era
continues to endure. Whether you take your Year Zero from The Stooges in
1969 or the heady bile of The Clash and Sex Pistols, it's impossible to
overstate the importance of punk. This book examines the songs that
encapsulated punks' message of dissatisfaction, anger, and integrity.
From The Stooges, The Clash, and Sex Pistols through The Buzzcocks, The
Stranglers, The Undertones, and The Damned to the later, artier punk of
Joy Division, Wire, and The Fall, as well as the American front of
Ramones, Suicide, Talking Heads, and Blondie, author Steven Wells
dissects punk's nihilistic classic tunes. Why were The Clash “So Bored
with The USA”? What made Johnny Rotten dismiss the Queen as “a moron”?
What were the undertones of The Stranglers' seemingly benign “Golden
Brown”? What “Psycho Killer” was the focus of the Talking Heads classic
song? Why were the Bad Brains “Banned in D.C.”? And who was the Ramones'
Sheena? All of these answers, dozens of photographs and more are
provided in detail in Punk: Loud, Young, and Snotty.
