It is clear that the roots of original punk can be traced back to the Ramones, but with the Sex Pistols, the genre has indeed entered popular culture. As for the Buzzcocks, well, if they're not pop punk, who is?

@alessioiride musically, the Sex Pistols created a recipe that many have drawn inspiration from, distorted guitars, few chords, and a melodic and "pop" instinct – this is undeniable in my opinion. Then again, I repeat that we need to see what is meant by pop, but I've already discussed the topic of pop in the previous comment.

@doctorj I disagree, in my opinion the first pop punk band was definitely the Sex Pistols, from which these bands undoubtedly try to emulate a deeply melodic and "pop" style. Then we need to see what you mean by pop; both punk before and, for example, grunge later, inevitably became part of pop culture after commercial success, and it was at that moment that both movements changed the course of rock. In the '90s, pop punk was institutionalized as a genre, thanks to numerous bands like Blink, Green Day, The Offspring, or Rancid, but the origin can be traced back to the late '70s.

Ah, and I'll take the rain pure there isn't, one of the most beautiful and poignant ballads by R.E.M.

the absent drive is inconceivable, shiny happy people didn’t put it on purpose, rightly in my opinion.

You reminded me of Guzzanti imitating Rutelli with a voice like Sordi's in "l'ottavo nano": "metal citizen, true, don’t get upset, I want to talk to you about my music, point one, true, Belle and Sebastian..." nice review, never heard of them, a few years ago I was about to go to one of their free concerts out of curiosity.

I have loved Paoli very much, even his more recent songs; I have never found him to be a grumpy person. In fact, I met him once after a concert and he is a wonderful person, with undeniable charm. His songs are often true poetry; he has certainly written some less beautiful things and even some nonsense, but as he said in an interview, an artist creates amazing works as well as big mistakes. You can't say that you like everything from an artist; otherwise, it’s clear you haven't understood them—you haven't been able to separate the great artist from the craftsman. It’s absolutely true that the only possible definition of artistic freedom is the freedom to make mistakes.

ah what a beautiful review

The blurs are definitely psychedelic; it's always been a well-present component of their art, along with many others, of course.

I have the single Coxon - Weller, which has 3 tracks: one Coxon - Weller, another one just Coxon, and then the third one just Weller. I simply couldn't miss it being a hardcore Coxonian. WHAT A GREAT GUITARIST Graham Coxon is!
