Punk's Old-School is populated by its original shock troops and those steeped in their sound: the Ramones in the U.S., plus a veritable army in the U.K. including the Buzzcocks, the Clash and, of course, the infamous Sex Pistols. The Old-School Punk of the 1970s was fairly straightforward in its delivery. If it broke any new musical ground, it was in showing that a song could be grand without being grandiose, a notion that had been lost in the heyday of heavily produced rock acts like Styx, ELO, and Journey. Old-School Punk's guitars, vocals and rhythms were ragged, but the music's fervent intensity jump-started a revolution. The Old-School influence is clearly evident in the sound of the late '90s Punk-Pop acts like Rancid and Green Day.
