Maybe Lux and The Cramps were cultural icons North of the Rio
Grande/Bravo, but at the Southern end of the Americas, Punk rock meant
mostly The Ramones and The Clash for classic punk. Perhaps the Pistols
for the earlier generations.

Maybe it's an age thing, I was born ' 74 so I catched the last grasps
of punk as an early teen. Or more probably, I don't know s*** about
music. ;-)
