Has anyone made more of a music career with no vocal talent?

i hate that ****in guy and the whole plastic punk scene that came from it.

There were some okay US punk bands...ok, there was the Ramones.

But I consider the whole British thing more of a fashion movement than musical movement.

Dead Kennedys, Feederz, Minor Threat, Circle Jerks, (early)Black Flag and (early)Suicidal Tendencies?

Guess it's just a matter of taste as to what qualifies as "OK" punk. Personally, I'd take any of them over the Ramones.

POst sex pistols UK you get sham 69(hersham boys) sounds like hard working class Clash. The Blitz(Voice of a Generation) what can i say,so hard, so good, so brutal,makes the stuff coming out in the states in the early 80s seem soft and gay.The Violators(summer of 81) the title track is one of the greatest pop punk sing alongs ever.
then you get shit like red alert,combat 84,4-skins(super good)section 5,last resort(king of the jungle) is one of the altime hardskin LPs.

I love the early late 70's early 80's British Oi! Cock Sparrer, the 4-skins, the business. I just bought the best of Blitz the other day and it doesn't get much better than that. Chaos UK is another one of my faves.

its amazed me the past 5-7 years how many mainstream bands have come outta the woodwork saying the Blitz was a major influence in there style and yet in the mid-late 80s & early 90s no mention.

I don't consider any of those bands "punk". I listened to all those bands when I was a skater. Those were skater bands.
