4.0 out of 5 stars ...but I LIKE the Clash!! Aug 10 2001
By DJ Joe Sixpack
Format:Paperback
A British history of punk, written as the history was being made. The authors went out of their way to try and be offensive and audacious, though their most pointed barbs are aimed at American rockers like the New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders who were better at being junkies than they were at toeing the line as "true punks". The Clash, the Damned, the Stranglers and pretty much everyone who wasn't the Sex Pistols get similar treatment. This is chatty and snide; just the book to curl up with at home on a rainy day, sipping tea while your old Iggy albums wreck another phonograph needle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Front Page Hatchet Job, John Nov 3 1999
By U. O'broin
Format:Paperback
This is singularly the most important and stridently semtexed analysis of the Punk Rock genesis in the late 1970s. It is completely scurrilous, vicious, nasty, alienated, cataclysmic, sinister. It belts along at a blistering pace, executing an absolute demolition job on poseurs like The Clash, The Jam and Iggy Pop and a triumphalist proclamation of the Sex Pistols and X-Ray specs as the real royalty of their generation . Parsons and Burchill have nothing good to say about anybody, but have a special contempt for Americans. What more could you want? Buy this and put it on eBay for 100 dollars as a Rock and Roll eSwindle.

4.0 out of 5 stars This Book Looks at More Than Johnny May 20 2007
By ' Groovin' guy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book features Iggy Pop, David Bowie,Blondie, with black and white photos of them.

It also includes some Sex Pistols experiences. It is a very short and easy to read book.

It was hard for me to get my copy and I keep it for its nostalgia.
