I was 17 in '77 and the Punk/New Wave scene changed my life in ways that still reverberate. I wish I had the time to put together a post like Rokkr, but right now I don't. (BTW: Great Post Rokkr.)

Thanks for all the kind words.
That time of my life will always mean a lot to me. It was a time of change not a lot of us are fortunate to see, much less be involved in.
After almost 30 years all the people I knew then I don't know now.

Rokkr,
Wow. what a great post! You inspired me to join just so I could respond. Personally, I'm 47 and missed '77 & most of '78. But I jumped into the "new" music scene full force in '79. I loved the Clash, the Jam, the Buzzcocks....etc. I was lucky to
