Punk

WHERE ARE THE FOOKIN MISFITS??? And if you talked about SoCal sound, where's the mention of Social Distortion and then a quick mention or recognition of psychobilly as a genre? Otherwise it was an entertaining and good watch.

Absolutely outstanding documentary about the history of punk with a who's who of punk. Loved hearing the stories and the revival of punk in the 90's. Could not recommend highly enough.

Accidentally came across this two nights ago and watched them all back to back. I lived this through the early 80s on the fringe she my music tastes were/are varied. Learned a lot of things I didn't know about but I also wish they would focused on some other bands and dived down a little bit deeper on the different clubs and even more on the fashion etc. But at the end of the day it was fantastic!

The series was overall worthwhile, but it is hard to take episode 4 seriously when they focus on Seattle and fail to mention the Melvins or Mudhoney, same when they repeatedly pojint to L7 and Bikini Kill yet don't include Babes in Toyland and Kim Gordon.

Have to say that in Australia we're very disappointed in the lack of mention of bands such as The Saints, The Birthday Party and Radio Birdman as key influences in early/mid punk rock in the series. Take a look at NME's review of 'I'm Stranded' 1974...
