The original members would both say punk, but the fact people see them in different ways is a testament of time and their influence. The lead singer of the Dead Kennedys as was, Jello Biafra would totally agree, 100% punk rock. Had a really nice few hours with him at Rebellion festival a few years back. He came to see my band play and was telling me how much the second wave of punk influenced him massively. He has a you tube channel, What would Jello do ? Interesting lunatic he is.

If you were living near our beautiful peninsular I could prove to you that in my car I have Plastic Bertrand and Purcell as well as Widors Toccata in D major. Its a work to lift the spirits of the dead.
Seriously,loh,one of the few positives my parents gave me was a love of Organ music.
My mother,sister and myself (first time round) had pre eminent organists.
I used to play-albeit extremely badly and we had a Hammond at home. Sadly,my interpretation of "America" -arr Keith Emerson remains the greatest travesty of musical interpretation the village of Killay has ever heard. I was popular with neighbours.
Before my time, wish it wasn't, I know Keith used to go there and the rank in Cardiff, those days were tricky I understand. I have spent a number of years as a roadie, driver, guitar tech with loads of USA bands and loved it. From the biggest to the best. But the old school punks are the most interesting, and talented.
When I was 17-18 I only had two t-shirts that I used to rotate constantly - one was Siouxsie and the Banshees the other was a Dead Kennedys ‘dead presidents’ shirt. Lived in them. Check out Fugazi, I still listen to them - 13 Songs is a good start.

I went to see the Cramps in 1986. Just before ‘A’ levels. When I got home my folks thought we had been beaten up. No, just down the front. Saw King Kurt too.
Saw some indie bands in the Clarendon- The Primitives and Tallulah Gosh. Their singer went on to be chief economist of the OFT and is Professor of Economics at UEA. Interviewed her and her (still partner) for a fanzine when called Heavenly in 1991
