I still think Public Image Ltd's first two albums are greatest 'punk' statements, infact that whole first wave of classic post-punk LPs. The whole label just smacks of the leeching scenester, just as the hippies and psychedelic sheep that Frank Zappa mocked, this is why any musician with sense hates being pigeonholed by the music press
