Didn't anyone like the Stranglers or Jam?

Stranglers yes, Jam not really. In the late 1970s a local pub hosted a load of punk bands, which was a refreshing change from the dross that you heard on the radio (Beeb plus one solitary commercial station). During the previous few years the Beeb had pushed all the good stuff mentioned by EO underground; they even relegated John Peel to MW rather than FM at one point.

Up to the 70s, calling someone a homosexual was supposed to be an insult. Somewhere along the line it became a sort of compliment.

when I was a kid it was against the law, then it became discussable, then it became legal, then it became acceptable.
soon it will be compulsory

Gary Glitter was a very good act. His music was also a bit original when it first came out: the heavy muffled drumbeat, dodgy saxes, and him taking the p155 out of himself.

[EternalOptimist]

Gary Glitter - well he was, you know, part of it all.

I went to see him in the Cavern in Liverpool and he turned up an hour and a half late, just in time to defuse the riot.

we were sitting on rows of 'forms' (or whatever they are called), those long wooden things you get in schools. The space was tiny and the floor was an inch deep in puke , beer and wee.

when he got got going , everyone stood up on these 'forms' and started to stamp. They broke in two, one by one , and the floor of the cavern was covered in soaking, writhing, idiots singing 'do you wanna have a gang bang, gang bang, gang bang, you wanna have a gang bang, OH YEAHHHH'

he might be sh1te, but you can't buy memories like that

[TiroFijo]

Gary Glitter

I started out being 13 in 1980 and well erm 23 by the end of the decade, so I guess I was a youngster for at least half of it.

All these groups on your list were way before my time but I do love Pink Flotd. Seen Roger Waters twice and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen, Bob Dylan being the worst.
