That's the problem the more intelligent cities like NY, SF, and London have. All that braininess get in the way.
Yeah, though, UK has best singles and always will. UK is a bit of a singles nation.

this is a tough question. living on the east coast I think NY was more important to me (actually DC: Slickee Boys, Black Market Baby and later Bad Brains, GI & Minor Threat) but UK and LA were far away and held that mystery...Heck, I'll go with LA, come one Black fucking Flag...nobody could touch them (for a while)

Detroit punk bands still around in '77 were mostly holdovers (but awesome nonetheless): Sonic's Rendevous Band, The Dogs, Destroy All Monsters.

I remember interviewing Johnny Ramone in 1980 and he said he reckoned bands like Blondie and Ramones would still have been playing backstreet bars in NYC if it hadn't been for the 'Pistols, Clash, Damned etc. re-exporting Punk to the US.
