Jesus Christ was the first true punk

he spat in the face of the Romans and the Jews

everybody knows Jesus was a hippy.

......and a commie.

"Jesus" should be added as a poll option

aaaAAWWWWWWW YEAH!!!! JAZZ-PUNK! :pimp:

I wouldn't ever try to deny Taylor's influence. I cite Coleman because he's credited with establishing a distinct musical philosophy (Harmolodic) that was first applied with his landmark recording. It's not a matter of necessarily being the first or the best to bring improvisation to the table but rather than just having it on the table Coleman made it the main course and was able to convince others to take the risk of releasing the first album that featured those distinctions.

Well it all depends what's on the pamphlet doesn't it. Unless you can divulge what's on the pamphlet I think it's a moot point bringing it up in the first place.

Psy-Fi Link Wray would definitely be a the top of the list. Rumble is definitely one of those songs from the early days of Rock and Roll that left it mark on countless guitar players and Link Wray's influence can not be understated.

Psy-Fi +1 point
BastardoFyoung -2 point

Link Wray had nothing to do with punk no matter what you say, get over it. Just cause some random critic thinks it's true, doesnt make it so.

Now, let's find someone who was an actual punk, not just someone who got called one cause they had a similar attitude that would be part of punk.

Which is what you are, so I guess what you think is true, doesn't make it so.

No, I am right on this one.

There was no such thing as punk when Link Wray started. You may credit him with rockabilly, but not punk.

I stated my reasons long ago in this thread.

Link Wray is not punk, and your comment is pointless.


Further more, the citation given isn't even linked. So doesn't count as a citation.
