The late 70's and 80's were a fantastic time for punk music. It was only by chance that the Sex Pistols were thrown out into the spotlight. I have to admit, there were much more talented punk bands out there around the same time as the Pistols (Subhumans, Wire, The Adicts, for example) but didn't get nearly enough recognition. And of course, by the late 70's punk had made it's way over to America and then we had bands like Ramones and Dead Kennedys. Punk was and is more popular than people think. It is just more of an underground thing now.
