The moment it all changed in the UK. This ground breaking TV performance by The Pistols and the fact that Rotten had given a copy of the single to my sister (she hated it and gave it to me) turned me right around and like so many kids at school I decided I was gonna be a punk.
Their debut album 'Dirk Wears White Sox' perfectly captures what a good band they were. I hated all that Prince Charming stuff, but never tire of this period of their lives.
One of the great things about Punk was the fact that Reggae music was such a big part of our soundtrack. Some bands like The Clash and The Ruts and even The Members had songs clearly inspired by Reggae.
