Yeah well, I guess it all started way back in the fifties with our good friends Chuck and Elvis and then it developed over a couple of decades (we all remember Mick Jagger and his Rolling Stones in the sixties), to finally take a huge step in the eighties.

Genuinely shocking or tasteless, campy fun? It was sometimes hard to tell which way the Misfits wanted to be taken, and the immense cult following that has grown up in the years after their actual existence (1977-1983) seems divided in its own assessment.

Not as confrontational as the Sex Pistols, as politically indulgent as the Clash, or as stripped-down as the Ramones, the Only Ones played not-so-fast guitar rock that sounded deeply indebted to the New York...
