    cool video, cool songs and even cooler playing! kinda wish there were more non-american songs on this list though, as by my count there was only one (that being the clash), in fairness the UK punk explosion was what, 2-3 years (77-79) if you wanna stretch it to include early post-punk? so there wouldn't be much room to fit many songs from that era, but it still would've been cool to see i think! bands like the saints, stiff little fingers, the damned, buzzcocks etc etc yadayadayada
