No, The Stooges were around pretty much the exact same time as Black Sabbath, but they were never true punk anyway and didn't influence Black Sabbath. Black Sabbath was influenced by heavy blues more than anything.

Punk may have reached the mainstream, but there are still bands that stick to its original ethics and attitudes. In fact, this album was written as a response to mainstream punk in the '90s.

to me honestly punk is just about playing music unabashed and passionately, but I suppose that's too vague. Regardless, I have no interest in it's relationship to class and what not.

You know that was good, but Obama had the best speech of all time last night.
I didn't see it, I've been completely ignoring anything to do with politics of any kind because it disgusts me to even listen to it now. Kill them all, I say.
I didn't properly reply before, but I was going to say that Shape Of Punk To Come is one of the newer albums that was an exception to the rule in terms of putting their money where their mouths were. As for the metal thing, their roots (heavy/slow blues) were around a little bit before the proto-punk bands (MC5, The Stooges, Velvet Underground, NY Dolls, Death, etc.), metal definitely had nothing to do with punk. In fact, punk rock was partially formed BECAUSE of bands like Zeppelin, Sabbath, etc. and prog bands with their super-bloated song suites, wankery, and musical stagnation. They saw it as shameless egotism and made their own three-chord songs to kinda give that scene the finger, so to speak.

^From what I've heard it was mainly cos of the prog bands, but yeah fair enough. I think I meant thrash metal, which I know doesn't really count for all of it.
But yeah, to me punk is about the passion. It may not be the true definition, but I think that's what it has become.

Not all hardcore is middle-class. I was just listening to Minor Threat the other day, and they were definitely working-class people who had at least some resentment built up towards some of their more privileged peers.
I think that at least nowadays, hardcore and punk fans don't belong to any one socioeconomic status. Just like rap, the genres have grown to be so large and accessible that it's become easy for everyone to find something they like within that genre.

The second half of this album is honestly as solid as they come. The first half is solid, too, of course, but the second half is something else.

This is one of those 4.5-5 continuum albums for me

I don't listen to punk... so this is just blowing my mind. The only punk that I have liked is Bad Brains and this.
Time to research more.
