    GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
    INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
    GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
    INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

    The Ramones - They INVENTED punk rock.

    At the moment, I really like Embrace too.

    May I invite my fellow poster to peruse my post.

    Ramones are good. However they didn't 'invent' Punk Rock. I believe that accolade belongs in equal measure to messrs. Lou Reed and Jimmy James Osterberg.

    Embrace are ok, if only for the fact they come from my home town. (some of the songs aint bad either)
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.”

    To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticise.

    I would say that you are mistaken in your belief, sir. Although the above gentlemen had an indisputable influence upon what would be be punk rock, they are certainly not its progenitors.

    Close run between Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mogwai; since I've seen Mogwai live in a fantastic gig it'd edge towards them.
