As a tribute, VH1 re-ran it's "25 Years Of Punk" special.
I feel really old when music I like and grew up on is getting played on VH1...
Great program though, covering the old schoolers like The DeadBoys, Sex Pistols, Ramones, Clash and Stooges up through the 80's thrash hardcore movement to the "grunge era"
I only wish they had made it a 2 hour program to focus a little more in depth....I'd like to have seen more on Richard Hell, Television, DRI, GHB and some of the others that migrated into some of the 80's hybrid bands that had punk aggression with thrash metal riffs and just pure energy and anger...
