As I recall, they all seemed to swim in the same ocean - it’s just
that the bands you list were in the artier wing. Talking Heads, which
was very art school from the beginning, played CBGBs at the same time
The Ramones did. I saw both of them weeks apart in 1976. I remember
playing Wire and the Sex Pistols the same nights, driving all the
bluegrass types in Charlottesville out of the room. Pink Flag was
1977, same year as Never Mind the Bollocks, no?
