Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Answers

So apparently not too many of you who answered this week, other than George and of course Encyclopedia Eric B (who nearly ran the table, only missing #4, and that inexplicably, given that this is probably his favorite genre of music), are of the Punk Rock generation. The theme, as George and Eric figured out very quickly, was that all these songs are from seminal British punk bands circa 1977-78. Big props to those two for their mad skillz. All the rest of you gob-smacked geezers, poseurs and tossers are sentenced to a night of skanking and pogoing in the mosh pit while Johnny Rotten sneers at you in contempt and tells you how badly you're getting ripped off.
