I had a horrible snobby attitude to punk initially, I was very much a hard rock and prog fan boi. Eventually had a stern word with myself and actually started listening to it properly and learned to love it.

I Had zero interest in any music until I heard Pretty Vacant as a 13 year old. Blew my mind. Set a course of Pistols, The Clash and The Jam.
The latter being my main influence from that day forward.
Followed Weller and his influences/offshoots ever since.
Early days listening to John Peel every night on a giant 1950's radio my engineer Brother In Law had basically rebuilt from scratch as a project and given to me as a gift once his project was complete. Amazingly brilliant man. I digress
