Micky Dolenz couldn't play drums when he started, but added a few new concepts to the drum kit lexicon by the time he'd finished.

The less said about Davy Jones, the better.

I personally think, no. Punk is rebellion -yes, and The Doors certainly rebelled against a lot, but they're still not punk. Punk had a certain type of rebellion about it that I can't really describe. Any true music fan will know that punk is not all about the music, more so about the attitude.

Those are just my thoughts. Here's the article here for those interested. What are your thoughts?

Well if you class it by rebellion, then Elvis etc are punk.

But the Pistols & Clash are teh punk, punk 77-79. dead now.

Audiences walked out of Louis Armstrongs shows,they were totaly freaked with what he was doing to music,breaking all the rules - you wouldn't have a guitar solo today if it wasn't for Satchmo....or scat.They also walked out on Frank Sinatra in disgust,what he was singing wasn't music.

I would put The Who and The Small Faces as the first bands who didn't give a fuck what anyone thought....if you call that attitude punk.
