Again, 3T rock did not lack musical qualities. But I know I'm not going to get anywhere with you here.

I remember at least one on the old forum (not Felix, I don't think she was Gen X).
Quote:I'll listen to that one later. But as for punk rock, I still want (musical) quality in my music; no excuses. But pop punk and/or post punk had some good stuff, I think (as you know).
70s/80s post-punk, yes, but pop punk, like Green Day and Blink 182, not so much. Just a week ago a young coworker and Green Day fan was telling me that that band was charging their fans $400 for a "VIP package" to their show (which apparently includes early access to seating and merch counter, some free trinkets and a Subway sandwich). No real punk rock band would do anything like that. The music doesn't really do a lot for me, either.
