PUNK POLLS

There's nothing punks like more than a good poll, apart from maybe drinking cider in the park, or listening to bootlegged Johnny Moped records, or cranking up their old first edition LPs on their vinyl record players, but still, it's one of the things they like. Perhaps they should do a poll about it? Perhaps not. Here are some polls that I've collated with no real purpose or justification except that they might be of some interest to someone, somehow. Before any angry anti-establishment punk pedants jump down my throat, these are mainly bands covered in the book, between the period of 1975 to 1980, although I probably missed loads, but what can you do?
